What best explains why children in American cities after the Industrialization Age often huddled together without shoes warm clothing shelter or decent food?

The full question is:What best explains why children in American cities after the Industrialization Age often huddled together without shoes warm clothing shelter or decent food?A. The focus was on manufacturing, not enough shoes were madeB. Many people lived in poverty due to low wages.C. Because of protective employment laws, child laborers could no longer be employedD. Because of the freedom women experienced in the workplace, many abandoned their childrenE. Since parents' work days were guided by strict rules, they were often strict at home. As a result, their children ran away and lived on the streets.POVERTY, from low wages along with normal reproduction rates to have large numbers of children, often left entire families homeless. There was no birth control, only abstinence, but when adults feel stress they often engage in sex for comfort (resulting in pregnancy despite living in poverty). Wages for men, often in labor jobs, were low. Women did not work in factories (not until World War II), nor outside the home. Children often pan-handled for tiny bits of donated money.This was more often the scene in larger cities, like New York City. In rural areas, families let their girls work in the homes of others as servants, so at the working home the child had a place to sleep and food. Boys often had a harder time physically since customs restricted them from being house servants. However, more families in small towns opened their homes to other families--so 2 poor but unrelated families often lived together to try to survive.Other families lived in makeshift tents at coal refuse dumps from coal mines because they could burn bits of coal they found in the refuse to keep warm. They often set the entire dump on fire accidentally. Many children suffered burns and died. Even people who lived in houses relied on going to the coal refuse piles (made up of clumps of clay with pieces of coal embedded in it) to scavenge for bits of coal to heat their homes and fire the cooking stove.(As a little girl, my grandmother would pull a wooden child's wagon or sled to the refuse pile, use her hands to break apart clay clumps, and bring pieces of coal back to her mother. Her father was a coal miner, but due to low wages, sometimes hid small pieces of coal in his pockets to take home. Coal families shook out coal dust from miner's clothing and burned the coal dust to try to stay warm in their houses.)
