Should be A, as all the other answers don't make sense.

Answer:

A. An increase in child labor

Step-by-step explanation:

Low pay made people unable to have enough money to provide for their families. Eventually, even the children needed a job to be able to eat and, because of that, low wages paid by factories caused an increase in child labor.
