Solution

The correct option is C Giving labourers rights would have meant scope for further conflict
Indian industrialists were skeptical of the Britishers intentions because they thought that with fixed income and other rights such as holidays, production would suffer and expenses of the factory owners would rise. The increase in these costs would increase the price of finished goods as well.
