Answer:

B) they passed regulations for the meatpacking industry

Step-by-step explanation:

Upton Sinclair published a novel called “The Jungle”, the novel described the meat industries and its working conditions. The novel impacted the food industry, many people started to protest the lack of sanitation in the food industry.

As a result, the federal government passed the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. Since then, government inspectors could enter meat plants and inspect the sanitation of the installments.
