Solution
The correct option is D Manchester
In 1771, Manchester was a rather small town of 22,000 people. But in fifty years, its population exploded and reached upto 1,80,000. This was mainly because of its cool climate which was ideal for textile production. It was also situated close to the port of Liverpool and the coalfields of Lancashire. As a result, Manchester went on to be the textile capital of the world for a long time.
