Answer:

B. Workhouses

Step-by-step explanation:

*This excerpt is directly from the Penn Foster reading material.

"Additionally, orphans, rather than being put in orphanages, were sent to workhouses. Workhouses were factories where orphaned children and impoverished, homeless people were sent to work in exchange for food and shelter."

I hope this helps! (✿◠‿◠)

The answer is B Workhouses


Explanation: They weren’t injured so A isn’t it. They weren’t mining for anything so isn’t D. And because they were being forced to work so it should be Workhouses. Factories doesn’t sound as reasonable
