c. they required leaders to vote against any law that might interfere with the environment.
d. they prevented leaders from passing laws that were unpopular among lower - class citizens.

Explanation:

Capitalist beliefs during the Industrial Revolution emphasized minimal government intervention in the economy. This led British leaders to avoid making laws that would regulate issues like child labor (seen as part of the free - market labor system) and pollution (as regulating it was seen as an interference with industrial production).

Answer:

B. They convinced leaders not to make laws addressing issues such as child labor and pollution.
