Answer
A
with a variety of New Deal legislation to protect their rights.
B
free to organize union activities without interference from employers.
C
with no legal protection from unfair employment practices.
D
without anyone in the government looking out for their interests.

Explanation

The National Industrial Recovery Act was passed in 1933, and the Supreme Court struck it down in 1935. Its labor provisions had protected workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively, so striking down the act removed those protections until later laws were passed. Thus, workers were left with no legal protection from unfair employment practices at that time.
