The correct response is:

Economic difficulties led farmers and labor unions to support more government regulation to help workers.

This reflects the context of the 1890s, when many farmers faced economic hardships due to falling prices and high debt, leading them to seek political solutions including the support of the People's Party (or Populist Party) which advocated for more government intervention and regulation to aid struggling workers and farmers.
