Solution
The correct option is B Samuel Crompton
Samuel Crompton was a mill worker who had learnt to spin using a Spinning Jenny. He noted that one of the problems with the Spinning Jenny was that the thread was not strong enough and it kept breaking. In 1779, Crompton designed a new machine which he called the Spinning Mule. His machine combined the best features of both the Spinning Jenny and Arkwright's Water Frame. The Spinning Mule produced a very fine and even thread which was suitable to spin yarns for making muslin.
