Your answer would be A). The terrible conditions in poor houses kept many poor people away

The poor law amendment act was passed by by the Whig government of Earl Grey in 1834. The purpose of this amendment was so that the poor people living in England that have the capability of working would stop asking benefits without working from them. They worked in very harsh conditions and lived in terrible shelter. The amendment made the cost lower for helping out the poor people, making the shelters for them were cheap. Because of all the strict rules in the work houses and the terrible living conditions, the poor people decided to go somewhere else and find a place where they could be treated fairly. And without the poor people, they can't improve on the poor people's experience, and they didn't want to upgrade any work houses for them.
