The correct answer is **B**: industries needed an increasing amount of cheap labor.
During the second half of the 19th century, the U.S. experienced rapid industrialization, which led to a high demand for labor. This demand was met by an influx of immigrants, many of whom were willing to work for lower wages in factories and industrial jobs.
