Solution

The correct option is C manufacturers to make their assembly lines more efficient.

The most important result of the development of interchangeable parts in the early 19th century was that it allowed manufacturers to make their assembly lines more efficient. Interchangeable parts were machine-made parts for guns or other manufactured devices that could be put together without further work. This enabled workers to assemble mass-produced goods more easily. Other Options are incorrect:

Printers (A) had had movable type since the 16th century.

Farmers (B) did not directly use interchangeable parts, because they were not manufacturing products.

Safe toys (D) are not necessarily the result of mass production.

The demand for coopers' skills in making barrels (E) declined, as mass production of metal barrels replaced wooden ones.
