  2. American Federation of Labor
  3. National Labor Union
  4. International Brotherhood of Teamsters
  5. Knights of Labor
Explanation
Answer: A - The Congress of Industrial Organizations was a labor federation that began in 1935 and sought to break the traditional craft-unionism paradigm by organizing laborers according to the industry in which they worked, rather than the craft they practiced. The CIO ultimately merged with its rival federation, the American Federation of Labor, to become the AFL-CIO, which remains the largest labor federation in the United States.
