Answer:

Coke method

Step-by-step explanation:

Darby was an English Quaker whose main role in the industrial revolution was to develop a new method of pig iron production by using coke to melt iron. Before they only used charcoal to burn iron, which was a procedure that involved cutting many trees to produce it. With the use of coke, the smelting was faster.
