new technology
The Industrial Revolution was significantly driven by new technologies, such as the steam engine, advancements in metallurgy, and the power loom. These technologies enabled mass production, improved transportation, and led to greater efficiencies in manufacturing processes. The other options listed (decrease in workforce, greater access to farmland, and persistence with older farming methods) did not contribute to the Industrial Revolution in the same way. In fact, the Industrial Revolution ultimately led to an increase in workforce due to growing factories and urbanization, transformed agricultural practices, and moved away from older farming methods with advancements such as the mechanized seed drill and other improvements in agricultural technology.
