Answer:

A) Calls for the abolition of slavery increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Abolitionists lived in the North. Beyond religious, philosophical and humanistic considerations about "the sin" of slavery, the northern economy was industrial in comparison with the South, which was mainly agricultural and needed a large slave labor force. The North´s economy was thus less labor-intensive.

Hope this helps!

Generally speaking, during industrialization the main attitude towards slavery in the North was negative, since people felt they were competing with free labor. And in the South it remained positive, since the South was still mostly agrarian.
