Question

Which of the following best describes the industrial revolution?A. fewer people living healthier, longer livesB. more rural communities, with closer ties to organic farming techniquesC. an urban society with increased access to goods and fossil fuel useD. people beginning to grow crops, domesticate animals, and live sedentary lives

Answer 1

C. an urban society with increased access to goods and fossil fuel use.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Industrial Revolution is marked with scientific changes that also led to the invention of machineries that used fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and crude oil.

The use of these fossil fuels accelerated the industrial production and increased the need of workforce, which pushed the population to leave the rural communities and move to urban areas. The urban society grew largely together with factories, while the rural activities such as growing crops and farming techniques declined.
