Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
- Option A (and B, as they are identical) is incorrect because the passage focuses on addressing social issues through literature, not political involvement.
- Option C is incorrect as the passage does not mention criticism of the British monarchy or preference for socialist systems.
- Option D is correct. The passage states that increased literacy and improved printing technology (advanced technology and widespread communication) enabled people to be informed about social problems, and then social - problem novels and other literary works addressed these issues in new ways (like revealing poverty, exploitation, and critiquing social views).

# Answer:
D. Advanced technology and widespread communication allowed people in Victorian society to address social issues in new ways.
