modern factories.
d. adults came to view children as vulnerable people in need of
protection.

Explanation:

In the 19th century, there was a growing awareness of the vulnerability of children. Social reforms and changing social values led to a perception that children needed protection. This was in contrast to earlier views where children were often seen as just another source of labor. For example, the Factory Acts were passed to limit child labor, indicating a shift towards protecting children rather than exploiting them as workers.

Answer:

D. Adults came to view children as vulnerable people in need of protection.
