"England was only pace to produce iron" is not a reason for why the iron industry started in England.
Answer: Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
Countries in Europe like Belgium shared similar stories of industrial revolution with England. Belgium was able to harness its iron ore present in the country, eventually leading to sharing similarly of industrial revolution with England.
This was eventually followed by France catching up with Belgium and England as France had limited iron ore reserves and could only catch up after the increase in the need for railways in the country. So, concluding that England was not the only place to produce iron.
