Answer: A. Increased worker participation in industrial life is beneficial.

Explanation: Utilitarianism is a moral theory in philosophy that advocates actions that supports general happiness or pleasure and moves away from or rejects actions that cause unhappiness or harm. For utilitarians, happiness is the overarching value; it is the only thing that is good in and of itself. Values are placed according to how happy it can make the people.

In the early 19th century, utilitarians tended to favor free trade the laissez fair view of ADAM SMITH. Today they favor the idea of increased worker participation and a more equitable(fair and impartial) distribution of income and resources. This would seem to bring happiness which is the ultimate goal for Utilitarians.
