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

Explanation

In the early 1900s, wealth was concentrated among a relatively small wealthy class, while industrialization and expanding business created a growing middle class. At the same time, many workers earned low wages and lived in poverty, so the working poor made up a large class. This is best described by “a small wealthy class, a growing middle class, and a large class of working poor.”
