Answer:

D. Workers were able to work fewer hours while still earning enough

to support a family.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Industrial Revolution occurred at a period when there was a shift from farming to industrialization during the late 1700s and early 1800s.

The American Industrial Revolution started some time later in the mid 1800s and heralded a change to mechanised agriculture.

Prior to this revolution, many Americans were farmers and lived in rural areas but with industrialization, people began to work for companies.

Although the work was harsh, the pay was good and workers worked lesser hours and made more money than they did before.
