(mc)
which of these decreased steadily during the second industrial revolution?
○ a tariff rates
○ b factory wages
○ c union activism
○ d urban population

Explanation:

During the Second Industrial Revolution, there was an increase in factory - based production, unionization efforts, and urbanization as people moved to cities for factory jobs. Tariff rates, however, did not have a consistent downward trend during this period. Factory wages generally increased over time as the demand for labor grew in the expanding industrial sector. Union activism also grew as workers organized to demand better working conditions and pay. Urban population increased as people migrated from rural areas to cities for employment opportunities in factories. So, none of the other options decreased steadily.

Answer:

A. tariff rates
