DPolluted air and overcrowded slum housing
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Strong workers' rights protected by 1820s laws
Factory life was harsh: 14-16-hour shifts, low wages, dangerous machinery, child labour, polluted air, slums. Workers' rights came SLOWLY: Factory Acts (1819, 1833) gradually limited child hours, but enforcement was weak.
