D) European social and political reform movements erupted

Explanation:

Almost as soon as the effects of Industrial Revolution became permanent many social and political reform movements sprang up all across Europe looking for greater freedom and rights.

This happened because now the population could see the exploitation within closed quarters of each other and it was easier to mobilize in the cities.

The scholarly response to Industrial Revolution also called for the  dignity of man and safeguard of his rights as he became more of a cog of a machine.
