The most accurate response to your question is:

**near coal mines to easily access the coal needed to help run them.**

While factories initially relied heavily on water power from rivers, the advent of steam engines, like those developed by James Watt, meant that factories could be powered by coal. This allowed them to be located closer to coal mines rather than being restricted to riverbanks.
