The correct answer is:
**d. the AFL only accepted skilled workers, while the KOL represented both skilled and unskilled laborers.**
The American Federation of Labor (AFL), founded by Samuel Gompers in 1886, focused primarily on organizing skilled workers and aimed to negotiate for better wages and working conditions. In contrast, the Knights of Labor (KOL), founded earlier in 1869, accepted both skilled and unskilled workers and advocated for broader social reforms.
