Solution

The correct option is C John Metcalf
John Kay and James Hargreaves made inventions in the cotton industry. Richard Arkwright invented power-driven machinery for the textile industry. Samuel Crompton invented the spinning mule, the large-scale manufacture of high-quality thread and yarn. John Metcalf was one of Britain’s first professional road-builders. Hence, John Metcalf is the odd one.
