Answer 1

Good Morning!
The Industrial Revolution involved several economic changes. Among these changes we can point to the rise of capital as a financial foundation to the detriment of land value, the use of both types of capital: long and short term and the complexification of the monetary and economic system, due to the demands of a market society.
The letter B) is the only one that was not a direct consequence of the Industrial Revolution.
