Answer: B

Explanation: During the Industrial Revolution, factories began to be built. Before this time, things such as clothes and foods were made at hone by hand. Now, these things were made in factories. These items no longer had to be made by hand at home.

Knowing the definition of industrial greatly helps. Google dictionary states, "relating to or characterized by industry." Industry is the making of objects in factories.
