Question

Which of the following was an early obstacle to industrialization in South America?. A. lack of petroleum . . B. lack of electricity. . C. lack of coal . . D. lack of timber

Answer 1

The answer to this question is lack of coal

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Lack of coal

Petroleum and electricity were not yet used in early industrialization which was coal based. Timber was not a problem due to luscious woods found in Southern America, but timber is not as good and important as coal for industrialization, especially the early one which was steam based.
