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：
The passage suggests that WIDC differed from WTUL in which of the following ways?
选项:
A、WIDC believed that the existing safety regulations were adequate to protect women’s health, whereas WTUL believed that such regulations needed to be strengthened.
B、WIDC believed that unions could not succeed in pressuring employers to comply with such regulations, whereas WTUL believed that unions could succeed in doing so.
C、WIDC believed that lead poisoning in white lead factories could be avoided by controlling conditions there, whereas WTUL believed that lead poisoning in such factories could not be avoided no matter how stringently safety regulations were enforced.
D、At the time that the legislation concerning white lead factories was proposed, WIDC was primarily concerned with addressing health conditions in white lead factories, whereas WTUL was concerned with improving working conditions in all types of factories.
E、At the time that WIDC was opposing legislative attempts to restrict women’s labor, WTUL had already ceased to do so.
