Answer 1

The correct answer is:

d) Workers have become alienated from the products they create.

Karl Marx criticized the Industrial Revolution for creating a system where workers were alienated from their labor, meaning that they did not have a connection to the products they manufactured, nor did they benefit from the fruits of their labor. This alienation was a key aspect of his critique of capitalism.
