Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution led to a significant gap between the wealthy factory - owners and the working - class. Workers often lived in overcrowded slums, were exposed to diseases due to poor living conditions, and faced harsh working environments. Families were not brought closer as women and children in the workplace often meant more separation as they worked long hours in different locations. Labor unions emerged as a response to poor working conditions, not being prohibited at the start. Factory jobs were not well - paying and had long hours and dangerous conditions.

Answer:

A. It increased social inequality, resulting in overcrowding, disease, and poor working conditions.
