D
a small wealthy class, a growing middle class, and a large class of working poor

Explanation

In the early 1900s, industrialization and expanding businesses helped the middle class grow, while wealth remained concentrated among a small elite. Many workers still earned low wages and faced difficult conditions, so the working poor made up a large class. This is best described as a small wealthy class, a growing middle class, and a large class of working poor.
