Question

if the ussrs economy had remained agriculture - based rather than industrialized, then the unemployment rate among men would have been much lower. women would have been much less in demand in the workforce. crop productivity would have led to larger, better nourished populations. children would not have had to leave school early to work in factories.

Explanation:

In an agriculture - based economy, industrial jobs that led children to leave school early for factory work would not exist. Agriculture typically does not require the same level of early - age labor as industrial factories. Option 1 is incorrect as there's no clear indication that male unemployment would be lower in an agrarian economy. Option 2 is wrong because in agriculture, women can also play important roles in farming activities. Option 3 is inaccurate as just crop productivity does not guarantee better nourishment without proper distribution systems.

Answer:

D. children would not have had to leave school early to work in factories.
