Answer

12-hour work days
B
few safety features or considerations
C
the right to a few days of sick leave each year
D
little job security due to a large labor force

Explanation

Factory workers in the 1800s commonly faced long workdays, unsafe conditions, and little job security because employers could readily find other workers. Paid sick leave was not a typical workplace benefit then. Therefore, the exception is the right to a few days of sick leave each year.
