B
Correct answer
Explanation
Statement 2 is correct as labour laws do protect workers in their workplaces by regulating safety, working conditions, and employment terms. Statement 3 is correct as these laws establish minimum living standards through minimum wage provisions and working condition regulations. Statement 1 incorrectly states that labour laws traditionally established political rights - this is not their primary function. Statement 4 is not always true as the right to strike is heavily regulated and not universally guaranteed.
