Explanation:

Upton Sinclair's The Jungle exposed unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry. This public outcry led to federal reforms like the Pure Food and Drug Act and Meat Inspection Act, which included authorizing food plant inspections. Options A (child labor), B (monopolies), and C (segregation) are unrelated to the book's focus on food safety.

Answer:

D. The federal government authorized inspectors to visit all food plants.
