Explanation:

Question 9

Industrial cities had issues like overcrowding, lack of proper sanitation (bathrooms, plumbing), and insufficient housing due to rapid population growth from industrialization. Factories were being built to support industrialization, so a lack of factories wasn't a problem.

Rookeries were slum areas with crowded, maze - like structures. Option A is wrong as they were poor areas. Option C is wrong as there were police forces (even if ineffective). Option D is a stereotype. The correct reason is the many hiding places.

Cholera is a water - borne disease. Contaminated water (from sewage, etc.) spreads it. Contaminated air doesn't cause it. Dirty living conditions are a factor but not the main cause, and bloodletting is a treatment, not a cause.

Answer:

D. There were not enough factories.
