d. slaughterhouse conditions were even worse than Sinclair had reported.

Explanation:

The book The Jungle by Upton Sinclair describes the terrible conditions that immigrants faced when working in slaughterhouses at the turn of the century. Sinclair wanted to bring attention to the plight of these people. However, the book created commotion due to its depiction of dirty, unhealthy slaughterhouses. People were horrified at the deplorable situation, and this prompted the government to investigate. Once they did, they discovered that conditions were even worse than Sinclair had said. However, this led to the passage of laws that improved these conditions.
