Explanation:

In the context of child labor exploitation by businesses, the relevant term here is related to what businesses gave child workers less of compared to adults. "Pay" makes sense as businesses often paid child workers less than adult workers. "Authority" and "work" don't fit the context of exploitation in terms of what is given less (authority is not typically something businesses give less of to child workers in this context, and "work" being less doesn't align with the exploitation of child labor where they were often made to work a lot).
