marxist question help!?
I have to answer this question for school. What I know about Marxism, and what I have researched, does NOT match the answers I have to choose from and it's really upsetting me!
Q. What aspect of 19th century European Capitalist society did Karl Marx theorize would lead to a revolution of the working class?
a. mechanization of many traditional jobs leaving workers jobless and likely to make destructive attacks against employers
b. growth and consolidation of large businesses resulting in the destruction of traditional independent small businesses
c. transition from an agricultural to an industrial society leaving workers more time for political involvement
d. harsh and unstable working conditions making workers receptive to persuasion by a small cadre of dedicated revolutionaries.
Am I right in thinking the wording in conveluded and none of these make sense?
Thanks for your help!

The wording is fine, but they're all only part of the issue or just inaccurate.
B - is the closest to correct; he talks about the growth of the proletariat as a result of many of the petty bourgeoisie being driven out of business, into the low-paying industrial jobs. This is one of the things that will drive them to action, as all the proletariat eventually unite against the bourgeois.
He does talk about harsh and unstable conditions, but he doesn't talk about a small cadre of revolutionaries. That's more Lenin.
