Solution

The correct option is A Both statements are true
The cooperatives established by Robert Owen and Louis Blanc were individual efforts that could only bring about small and gradual changes. The cooperatives needed government support, which they were unable to get.

Karl Marx, on the other hand, argued for a revolutionary change by overthrowing the capitalist government. He argued that the only way workers could free themselves from capitalist exploitation was to overthrow the rule of private property and construct a different kind of society, in which all property was socially controlled.
