Model Answer

(B) They were better finished, individually produced and carefully designed.

In Victorian Britain, handmade products symbolised refinement and class among the upper classes, as they were better finished, individually produced, and carefully designed.

Explanation

The answer is directly stated in the source passage (Section 2 – Hand Labour and Steam Power): "In Victorian Britain, the upper classes…preferred things produced by hand…They were better finished, individually produced, and carefully designed." Options A, C, and D are factually incorrect according to the text. For MCQs, always look for the exact phrase from the textbook.
