The correct answer is A, that is minimum wage laws.

Washington Gladden was a Congregationalist minister who followed the social doctrine and encouraged social reform. Gladden was the first leading U.S. religious figure to promote unionization of the workforce. He increasingly denounced the laissez- faire capitalism and harsh economic conditions. To produce a more cooperative social order, he proposed Christian Principles to the conflict between labor and capital.
