Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), also known as the Wobblies, believed in the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a socialist society in which workers would control the means of production. One of their key beliefs was that industrial unions should replace craft unions, which they believed were too limited in their scope and often pitted workers against one another. Therefore, the statement that is most consistent with the beliefs of the IWW is that workers should take over and run the nation's industries.
