Answer:

B. a mix of government officials and skilled workers.

Explanation:

We must bear in mind that during this period will be structured, on the one hand, the bourgeoisie (owner of the means of production: land, factories, service companies, etc.) that will impose its power; on the other side we see the proletariat (which does not have the means of production and works in them: day laborer, worker or employee of a company). The conflicts between both, between capital and work, is the beginning of a story that is born in this stage.

The struggle of the social classes was a problem that appeared in the formations of a class of industrial capitalists, that a class of factory workers, whose only means of production were their hands and their children: a proletariat. The real wages of a small part of these workers had gone up; food and health had improved; the duration of life had grown with the population. But the largest and most important part of the working population were very poorly paid, poorly nourished, worse harbored, devoured by the "fever of the industries" and by tuberculosis. From 1785, these workers grouped together, declared strikes that were accompanied by violence against the machines and against people (Luddism, will be developed later) and demanded that the parliament enact protective legislation: the class struggle begins.

Along with such leaves problems, that of the provision of capital lacked importance. It consisted in that most of those who possessed wealth went to the new industries, which started with small savings or loans and invested in the industry. They were hard, stingy and greedy, and therefore labor would suffer.
