What was the ideological relation between Marxist class struggle and workers' unions?

Correct answer: Both saw workers as an organized collective force

The governing concept is the connection between Marxist class analysis and collective worker organisation. Marxism explained society through conflict between classes, especially between capitalists who owned the means of production and workers who sold their labour. Workers' unions translated this awareness into practical collective action by organising members to demand better wages, shorter hours, safer conditions and political rights. Thus option A is correct: both treated workers as a force capable of acting together. Options B, C and D refer to kingship, religious rule and feudal privilege, which contradict the egalitarian and anti-exploitative orientation of Marxist and union politics.
