题目材料：

As the United States shifted from an agricultural, production-oriented economy to an urban, bureaucratized, consumer-oriented economy, children were removed from the labor force and valued for sentimental rather than instrumental reasons. Children were increasingly studied, regulated, and protected through the rise of pediatrics, child psychology, child-welfare agencies, compulsory schooling, child-study programs, and so-called scientific parenting regimes. These changes shifted public attention away from the child considered to be in need of saving and toward the kind of child whose development would preoccupy parents, and whom advertisers would showcase- and eventually appeal to directly-in their promotion of goods. The redefinition of childhood served not to separate children from the commercial realm, but, rather, to advance the commoditization of childhood and the broader transformation to a consumer economy.

The passage implies the author's agreement with which of the following statements about changes in how childhood was viewed?

AThe newly sentimental view of children did not preclude the commercial exploitation of children's wishes.
BThe removal of children from the labor force was seen by advertisers as likely to reduce children's buying power.
CParents felt compelled to resort to so-called scientific child-rearing regimes in order to counteract what they viewed as a harmful rise in consumerism.
DIncreased study and regulation of children resulted from increased public attention to what was considered typical childhood development.
EChanging attitudes about child labor and the importance of children's education may have contributed to declines in agricultural production.
