Explanation:

The Enlightenment emphasized reason, science, and individual rights. Innovations in technology (like new scientific methods and inventions) and forms of government (such as democratic ideas based on reason and individual rights) were influenced by Enlightenment thinking.

• Option A: Innovations in technology and government did not end the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment had its own timeline and ended due to various complex historical factors, not because of these innovations.
• Option C: Innovations in government (like Enlightenment - inspired democratic ideas) started before the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was more about technological and economic changes.
• Option D: Both technological innovations and forms of government (like democratic governance) are highly relevant to today's society.

Answer:

B. They both came about as a result of the Enlightenment.
