a. governments let business owners set rules concerning working conditions.
b. governments began offering specific companies complete monopolies.
c. local municipalities used tax money to fund public schools for all children.
d. factory owners followed strict regulations concerning pollution or faced legal consequences.

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution, in a laissez - faire economic environment, governments often allowed business owners to set working conditions. There was less government regulation at the start of the Industrial Revolution compared to later periods. Monopolies were not a widespread practice offered by governments during this time. Public school funding and strict pollution regulations came later as a result of social and environmental movements.

Answer:

A. Governments let business owners set rules concerning working conditions.
