Solution

The correct option is A A only
The Industrial Revolution created large employment opportunities for people and brought about significant changes in the lives of the people. During the Industrial Revolution, England became the workshop of the world. The shift to mass production in industries saw a rise in factories being set up. And this led to a decline in agriculture because people migrated from villages to industrial towns in search of jobs and a better income. In pre-industrial society, over 80% of people lived in rural areas. As migration grew, small towns became large urban cities and populations grew.
