Correct answer: many tenement apartments had few windows and poor ventilation.
Explanation: early 1900s tenements were overcrowded and poorly built, with small, poorly lit rooms and little fresh air, which promoted disease. They also often lacked adequate garbage removal, indoor plumbing/hot water, and fire-safety features—later reforms (e.g., New York’s 1901 Tenement House Act) aimed to remedy these problems.
