Answer 1

Answer: A. Increases in agricultural productivity provided the foundation for the Industrial Revolution

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no chart included but option A is most probably the answer because it represents accurate historical events.

From the 17th century onwards, the British began to practice better Agricultural practices that had the effect of yielding so much more food. These innovations included crop rotation, selective breeding and increased use of better farming tools.
