Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution introduced mechanization in the textile - industry. Machines like the spinning jenny and power loom allowed fewer workers to produce a much larger quantity of textiles compared to the pre - industrial era.

B. By allowing fewer workers to produce more textiles than ever before
