D. They wanted control of their companies.

Answer 1

C. They wanted better wages and homes

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Option C. They wanted better wages and homes.

Despite the trust Porfirio Díaz had on the middle class to be the more active and productive from the overall Mexican population, this group refused to fall into conformism and felt they were not paid enough for their efforts. As a result, the middle class oppossed Díaz, joining the fight with the lower class which desired their political and economic rights to be respected.
