D Correct answer
Explanation

In 1914, Henry Ford implemented the revolutionary \$5 daily wage, which was more than double the typical factory wage of the time. This was \$5 per day, not per hour, making it approximately $2.50 per hour for a standard workday. This policy helped reduce employee turnover and allowed workers to afford the cars they produced, transforming both the automotive industry and labor practices.
