Answer: A. securing workers’ compensation

The Progressive Era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform in the United States. This period lasted from the 1890s to the 1920s, and it dealt with many problems caused by industrialization, urbanization and immigration.

One of the era's most important achievements was securing worker's compensation. On June 4, 1912, Massachusetts passed the first minimum wage legislation in the United States.
