Solution

The correct option is C Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was a period of time in the early 19th century during which machinery began to replace hand production, water and steam power began to improve, and the factory system became implemented. The Luddites demanded work for those who had lost their jobs because of the coming of machinery. They fought by threatening to damage the machines and stocks of the factory owners.
