Solution
The correct option is B General Ned Ludd
The protest movement known as Luddism (1811-17) was led by the charismatic General Ned Ludd. Luddism was not only an assault on machines. Its participants demanded a minimum wage. They also wanted control over the labour of women and children. They demanded work for those who had lost their jobs because of the coming of machinery. They also asked for the right to form trade unions so that they could legally present these demands.
