What kind of relation did industrial capitalism create between workers and owners?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Owners took profit from workers' labour

Industrial capitalism connected workers and owners through production, but the relationship was unequal. Workers usually did not own factories, machines, or raw materials, so they had to sell their labour for wages. Owners controlled the means of production and sold the goods produced. After paying wages and other costs, they kept the remaining income as profit. Socialists criticised this arrangement because workers created value but had little control over production.

Option A is correct because it describes the central economic relationship: owners gained profit from workers’ labour. Option B reverses the actual relationship, since workers did not collect taxes from owners. Option C is wrong because their wages and profits were directly connected. Option D is also false; owners were not defined by running workers’ unions. The important idea is unequal control over labour and capital.
