The most appropriate action taken by Progressives to address violence against women and children would be:

**a the enactment of child labor laws**

While all options show efforts that could pertain to women's and children's rights or protection in some way, child labor laws specifically aimed to protect children from exploitation and harmful conditions, which is directly related to preventing violence and abuse against them. The prohibition of alcohol (c) also aimed to reduce domestic violence, but it was not as direct or focused specifically on women and children as child labor laws were.
