The best answer that reflects an indirect reason for discrimination during the labor movement in the late 1800s and early 1900s is:

B: African Americans and other minorities could not afford the high annual membership fees leading to informal discrimination.

This choice hints at the socioeconomic barriers that prevented minorities from participating in unions, which contributed to discrimination without being a direct policy of exclusion.
