Answer 1

Since there are no context, I’m going to assume that this is the era of the Victorian era/industrial revolution.

The answer would be C. As far as the concept of lassiez- faire went, business owners did not care for the health and safety of their workers. This was in turn due to the reason that it costed more and they could always just hire new workers on cheap salaries. Their main goal was to expand their business and make profits.

In the future, please at least give context to the question. Don’t just copy and paste the question, or else your question will most likely be ignored.
