The correct option is B 1730s

The earliest factories were set up in England by 1730. These industries grew in number during late eighteenth century. Cotton factories were the first factories to be set up and its production boomed in the late nineteenth century. In 1760, Britain was importing 2.5 million pounds of raw cotton to feed its cotton industry. By 1787 this import increased to 22 million of raw cotton to feed the industry.
