Answer 1

As new factories were built in Europe, the majority of the factory workers came from the countryside. With the growth of the factories, many people from rural areas migrated to the cities in search of better wages and job opportunities. The development of new machinery in the factories reduced the demand for labor in agriculture, which also contributed to the influx of rural workers to the cities. Therefore, the correct answer is "the countryside (Machinery freed people from working in agriculture)."
