The answer is letter B. The work once done by skilled workers was now done by machines and unskilled workers.

Technically, this means anyone with some skill could do the work without knowing too much about the rest of the system. Many, "unskilled" workers could find jobs in factories, pushing back on the need for skilled workers to fill in the gaps - - or train expensive replacements.
