Answer 1

The correct answer is a. new industries emerged, such as lumber, coal, and steel

These industries existed and at a large scale, they were just locally bound or it took a lot of time to transfer goods to cities and similar things. The lumber industry existed even during the 16th century when the first colonies were being established.
