The most likely technological improvement promoted by the Black Death was advances in agricultural machinery.

The Black Death led to a significant reduction in the population of Europe, resulting in labor shortages. This shortage prompted landlords and farmers to invest in more efficient agricultural practices and machinery to maintain productivity with fewer workers. While other options may have also seen developments, the immediate impact of the labor shortage from the Black Death strongly influenced agricultural improvements.
