The correct answer is C. They are greedy and selfish.

Explanation:

The excerpt presented explains the origin and part of the evolution of trade unions. In this, it is stated trade union movement originated from the request of workers for food but later it involved more complex requests. Besides this, the author of the text explains employers or the owners of factories opposed trade unions because they "were resolved not to recede and not to relinquish any of the powers and privileges which they possessed".

This shows factory owners had the privileges workers were fighting for but they did not want workers to have the same privileges and therefore for the author the factory owners can be described as "greedy and selfish" because they wanted better homes, food, clothes and other living conditions only for them and by taking advantage of the workers.
