The correct option is:

(b) It would teach them skills and protect them.

Mandatory school attendance laws aim to provide children with education, teach them valuable skills, and ensure their overall well-being and protection. These laws were implemented to guarantee that children receive an education, learn essential skills, and are protected from exploitative labor practices, allowing them to grow intellectually and prepare for their future.
