Explanation:

The Lowell textile mills were known for employing young women. They were part of the "Lowell system," which aimed to have a workforce that was seen as more "moral" and controllable compared to other potential labor groups. Displaced farmers (A) were not the main group; the mills wanted a specific demographic. Children (C) were sometimes used in other industrial settings but not the focus here. Migrants (D) were not the primary labor source for the Lowell mills before 1845.

Answer:

B. young women
