I think the answer is C. Hostility of businesses towards unions, correct me if i'm wrong :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) hostility of business toward unions.

The factor that limited the success of labor organizers in the late 19th century was the hostility of business toward unions.

During those years, owners created holding companies to reduce the power of unions. That is why labor organizers considered very important to have a collective bargain.  Unions wanted to protect the interest of workers in the workplace. Although the faced many obstacles, their demand always were healthier working conditions, fewer hours of labor, and better wages. But the real thing was that the companies never agreed with those ideas and many businesses showed hostility toward unions that limited the job of labor organizers.
