Why did manufacturers hire children to work in their factories? A. Factory owners could pay children less money than they paid adults.
B. Children were able to complete more work than adults.
C. Children could work for eight hours per day.
D. Factory owners expected children to do demanding physical labor.
The correct answer is A. Factory owners could pay children less money than they paid adults.
Explanation: Manufacturers hired children to work in factories primarily because they could pay them lower wages than adult workers. Additionally, children were often seen as more manageable and less likely to demand better working conditions. This exploitation of child labor was common during the Industrial Revolution when labor laws were not as strict as they are today.
