Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The government viewed prostitution as a necessary evil that needed regulation during the industrial revolution period. This is primarily due to the growth of urbanization, poverty, and the absence of proper legislation. Therefore, governments throughout Western Europe passed laws and regulations to restrict prostitution, resulting in brothels being established and licensed under strict regulations.
