Explanation:

• Technological innovations such as the Bessemer Process (for steel production) and the light - bulb (electrical innovation) are economic factors. They led to new production methods, increased efficiency, and the growth of new industries, which are key economic drivers.
• Bimetallism (a monetary system) was not a major direct cause of the Industrial Revolution.
• A reduction in consumer demand for agricultural goods is not a cause of the Industrial Revolution. In fact, the Industrial Revolution changed the economic structure, but it was not driven by a decline in agricultural demand.
• A decline in agricultural output is not a cause. The Agricultural Revolution (with increased output) actually provided a foundation (e.g., labor availability as fewer were needed in agriculture) for the Industrial Revolution.

Answer:

Technological innovations like the Bessemer Process and the light bulb.
