Solution

The correct option is B To reduce their dependence on labourers
Landlords and farmers decide to buy threshing machines in order to reduce their dependence on labourers. Threshing machines were opposed by the poor in England because they thought that these machines would deprive workmen of their livelihood. They believed that with the help of machines the richer farmers and big landlords would encourage enclosure movement.
