文章：
| Line | Acting on the recommendation of a British |
| government committee investigating the high | |
| incidence in white lead factories of illness among | |
| employees, most of whom were women, the Home | |
| (5) | Secretary proposed in 1895 that Parliament enact |
| legislation that would prohibit women from holding | |
| most jobs in white lead factories. Although the | |
| Women’s Industrial Defence Committee (WIDC), | |
| formed in 1892 in response to earlier legislative | |
| (10) | attempts to restrict women’s labor, did not discount |
| the white lead trade’s potential health dangers, it | |
| opposed the proposal, viewing it as yet another | |
| instance of limiting women’s work opportunities. | |
| Also opposing the proposal was the Society for | |
| (15) | Promoting the Employment of Women (SPEW), |
| which attempted to challenge it by investigating the | |
| causes of illness in white lead factories. SPEW | |
| contended, and WIDC concurred, that controllable | |
| conditions in such factories were responsible for | |
| (20) | the development of lead poisoning. SPEW provided |
| convincing evidence that lead poisoning could be | |
| avoided if workers were careful and clean and if | |
| already extant workplace safety regulations were | |
| stringently enforced. However, the Women’s Trade | |
| (25) | Union League (WTUL), which had ceased in the late |
| 1880s to oppose restrictions on women’s labor, | |
| supported the eventually enacted proposal, in part | |
| because safety regulations were generally not being | |
| enforced in white lead factories, where there were | |
| (30) | no unions (and little prospect of any) to pressure |
| employers to comply with safety regulations. |
题目：
Which of the following, if true, would most clearly support the contention attributed to SPEW in lines 17–20 ?
选项:
A、Those white lead factories that most strongly enforced regulations concerning worker safety and hygiene had the lowest incidences of lead poisoning among employees.
B、The incidence of lead poisoning was much higher among women who worked in white lead factories than among women who worked in other types of factories.
C、There were many household sources of lead that could have contributed to the incidence of lead poisoning among women who also worked outside the home in the late nineteenth century.
D、White lead factories were more stringent than were certain other types of factories in their enforcement of workplace safety regulations.
E、Even brief exposure to the conditions typically found in white lead factories could cause lead poisoning among factory workers.
