Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The series of laws passed between 1897 and 1911 in Great Britain aimed at helping the poor did have some impact, but they were not entirely successful. Despite these efforts, a significant portion of the poor population, about one-third, still did not receive any assistance. This indicates that while the laws were a step in the right direction, they were not comprehensive or effective enough to reach all those in need.
