Solution
The correct option is C Weavers
At the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the demand for raw materials grew. The farmers in India were forced to grow cash crops which led to famines. The British went on to break the limbs of weavers and their machines, to keep them from working. This systematically crushed the Indian weaving industries.
