The development that helped bring about the Industrial Revolution among the options provided is **the increase in the size of cities and populations**.
The Industrial Revolution was significantly influenced by urbanization, as people moved from rural areas to cities in search of work in factories. This increase in population density created a labor force needed for industrial production and also generated a greater demand for goods, further spurring industrial growth.
The other options listed—overproduction of consumer goods, lowered demand for manufactured goods, and a decrease in the amount of overseas trade—are not factors that contributed positively to the onset of the Industrial Revolution.
