13. The development of capitalism had what impact on class differences? A. It decreased the difference between middle and working classes.
B. It decreased the status of the upper class.
C. It increased the difference between middle and working classes.
D. It elevated the status of the working class.

C. It increased the difference between middle and working class.

Explanation:

The adoption of capitalism drove a further divide between those from a lower class, and those from the upper class. In this case, it increased the difference between the working class (which is essentially lower class) and the middle class. The development of capitalism birthed a wealthier middle class, and therefore a wealthier upper class. This then left the working class at the bottom of the barrel.

I hope this helps!!
