Answer 1

C. the progressive movement

The progressive movement was a political and social movement aimed at addressing problems stemming from urbanization and industrialization, including issues like corruption, inequality, and various social injustices. While the other movements mentioned also sought to address important issues, they were more focused on specific areas such as alcohol consumption (temperance), voting rights (suffrage), and workers' rights (labor), rather than the broader societal challenges posed by urbanization and industrialization.
