The settlement house movement started in 1884. The main goal of the settlement house movement was to provide social services and education to the poor workers living in Britain.
Americans got inspired by this great movement and started housing settlement in response to<span> the growing industrial poverty. Their main aim was the same as Britain, that is to reduce poverty and strengthen the education system.</span>
<span>An interest group (also called an advocacy group, lobbying group, pressure group, or special interest) is a group, however loosely or tightly organized, that is determined to encourage or prevent changes in public policy without trying to be elected.

I don't think it's A or B because they are more concerned with change and advocacy than a "free time" thing.
So going with this definition, I'd go with D ;) </span>
