Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: The enclosure movement during the Agricultural Revolution displaced many rural workers, who then moved to cities to find work in factories, which was essential for the Industrial Revolution's labor force.
• Option b: Improved farming practices (like new crop rotations, selective breeding) increased food production, allowing a larger population to be supported. This larger population included workers for factories and consumers for industrial goods.
• Since both a and b are correct reasons how the Agricultural Revolution prepared Britain for the Industrial Revolution, option c is the right choice.

Answer:

c. Both A and B
