a. a mayor encourages people in her citys crowded neighborhoods to move to less populated rural areas.
b. a teacher offers her teaching materials and lesson plans to other teachers for free online.
c. a company prevents its employees from discussing new products with anyone outside the company.
d. a governor encourages companies in his state to avoid doing business with residents of other states.

Explanation:

During the early Industrial Revolution, Great Britain took measures to protect its industrial knowledge and innovations. Option C, where a company prevents its employees from discussing new products with outsiders, is similar to how Britain tried to keep its industrial secrets (like textile manufacturing techniques) from being shared with other countries. This was to maintain its competitive edge in manufacturing. Options A, B, and D do not relate to the protection of industrial - related knowledge or innovation which was a key aspect of Britain's early Industrial Revolution actions.

Answer:

C. A company prevents its employees from discussing new products with anyone outside the company.
