True
B. True.
The cholera epidemic of 1854 did disproportionately affect the lower social classes in London. At that time, there was a lack of awareness about the causes of cholera and how it was spread. Due to poor living conditions, cramped and unhygienic housing, and lack of access to clean water and adequate sanitation, the lower classes were more vulnerable to the disease. As a result, they suffered higher mortality rates compared to the wealthier classes who had access to better living conditions and resources.
