Answer:

D. All of the above are true

Step-by-step explanation:

The steam engine was created in 1698 by Thomas Savery and its main objective was to remove water from wells and transform it into steam. This machine had a small furnace in its composition, where the water was heated and the steam was used to transform the energy that was released by burning some fuel (also in the furnace) that could be coal, wood, oil, among others. This machine was one of the factors that led to the great success of industrialization. This because it allowed:

  • Factories were built away from a water source.
  • Boats navigated the English channels more easily.
  • It enabled the railroads to function fully.
