Solution

The correct option is C Machine - Spinning Jenny
Year - 1764
The spinning jenny was an early, multiple-spindle machine for spinning wool or cotton. The hand-powered spinning jenny was invented by James Hargreaves in 1764 and patented in 1770. The development of the spinning wheel into the spinning jenny was a significant factor in the industrialisation of the textile industry, though its product was inferior to that of Richard Arkwright’s water frame.
