If a factory owner controls means of production and workers depend on wages, which analysis becomes stronger?

Correct answer: Marxist analysis of class relation and exploitation

The governing concept is the Marxist analysis of ownership, wage dependence and exploitation. The factory owner belongs to the class that controls the means of production, such as buildings, machines and capital. Workers, lacking comparable productive property, must sell their labour for wages in order to live. This unequal relationship helps explain why Marxists focused on class divisions and the possibility that owners could appropriate surplus created by workers. Therefore, option A is correct. Conservative gradual reform concerns the pace of political change, liberal religious tolerance concerns freedom of belief, and radical women's suffrage concerns gender and voting rights; none directly analyses this ownership-labour structure.
