Solution

The correct option is C the spinning jenny
The spinning jenny was used for making work in the textile industry easier. But it needed specific skills to work on it and only one person could work on one jenny at a time. To eliminate such limitations, the Helmshore Textile Mill was established in the late 18th century, with an improved version of the spinning jenny.
