○ b tariff rates and income tax revenues
○ c immigration to the u.s. and union activism
○ d government regulation and industrial wages

Explanation:

During the first decades of the Second - Industrial Revolution in the U.S., there was a large influx of immigrants seeking job opportunities in the growing industries. Also, as workers faced harsh working conditions and long hours, union activism increased as workers organized to demand better treatment. Income equality did not increase as industrialists amassed great wealth while workers' wages were often low. Crop prices were not a major feature of the industrial - focused Second Industrial Revolution. Tariff rates and income tax revenues were not the most rapidly increasing elements. Government regulation was initially lax and only gradually increased. Industrial wages did not increase rapidly in the early stages.

Answer:

C. Immigration to the U.S. and union activism
