Why did workers' difficult conditions become a political question in industrial society?

Correct answer: Because workers formed organizations and demanded rights and reforms

The governing concept is the movement of labour problems from the private factory into public politics. Poor wages, long hours, unsafe workplaces, unemployment, and unhealthy housing affected large groups rather than isolated individuals. Workers responded by creating unions, associations, newspapers, strikes, and political campaigns. Through these organizations they demanded shorter hours, better wages, legal protection, voting rights, and social reform. Governments could no longer treat such issues as merely private disagreements between an employer and an employee. Option A is correct because organization converted suffering into collective demands and political pressure. Option B denies the historical role of worker mobilization. Options C and D are incorrect because rights were contested and negotiated, not automatically granted or simply made to disappear.
