(Option "B" is the correct answer) During the early years of the Industrial Revolution the British government was slow to pass laws addressing the problem of pollution, since British leaders feared that such laws would interfere with businesses and harm the economy. Although the Industrial Revolution caused serious problems concerned with child labor,  low wages, bad working conditions, poor housing, diseases as well as water and air pollution, the role of the British government focused on enforcing laws that protected bussiness, investment and property.
