Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution was characterized by technological advancements. These technologies, like new machinery, enabled mass production. For example, in the textile industry, inventions such as the spinning jenny and power loom allowed for large - scale production of textiles.

Option C is incorrect because the Industrial Revolution led to an increase in mass - produced goods.
