b. were preparing them for careers that would benefit them later in life.
d. were more careful and achieved high levels of safety.

The answer is (c). worked for less money

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. Factories were willing to employ women and children because they worked for less money. These class would accept job even though their salary is less than what it should be which is favorable to factories. Hope this answers the question.
