The correct answer is b) Workers from the lower class could afford to buy many sets of ready-made clothing that had been made in textile factories.

During the Industrial Revolution, the production of textiles and other goods shifted to factories, leading to mass production and lower prices for clothing. This made it more accessible for the lower class to purchase ready-made clothing, thereby improving their standard of living.
