Answer:B. Factories were in awful working conditions due to Laissez-faire policies.

Explanation:

Laissez-faire in economics means the abstention by the government from interfering in the workings of the free market. Working conditions during that time were awful because employers had no control or limits from institutions or the government. Workers joined together and created Unions in order to gain better salaries, safer conditions and shorter workdays.
