Answer:
The correct choice is A) Prosperity and poverty.
<em>The Victorian era’s most prevalent contrast was between </em><u><em>prosperity and poverty</em></u><em>.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The victorian era was a period in history that spans the 63 - year reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). It was most known for the world's first Industrial Revolution, social change and political reforms, Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin, a railway boom and the first telephone and telegraph. All these point towards prosperity. England, in the time described above, became the first global industrial power, producing much of the world's coal, iron, steel and textiles.
On the other hand however, the poverty was so critical, children became bread winners, scouring the industries looking for work to support their families.
In houses that are big and once known for their glamour, thirty or more people of all ages now inhabited a single room.
