Answer 2

B. The gains of the industrial revolution should be shared by all members of society.

Explanation:

Communists were opposed to the power that the wealthy bourgeoisie had, who controlled the means of production.

Instead, Communists wanted the proletariat (working class) to control the means of production, in order to create a more even distribution of wealth and power in society.

So, they supported making the Industrial Revolution's benefits shared by society.

Utopian socialists also would support this, as they also supported public ownership of the means of production.

The correct answer is B.
