Solution

The correct option is B if
Subordinating conjunction 'if' is used when one clause of a sentence is dependent upon the other clause being possible; ie. an action is possible in case of the first action occurring. Here, the main clause indicates the first action - factory being closed - will lead to the dependent action - many people being out of work. Therefore the correct option is: if.
