The best answer is:

a) the enclosures meant experimentation with new farming methods to yield larger crops.

The enclosure movement involved the consolidation of small landholdings into larger farms, which led to more efficient agricultural practices and the adoption of new farming techniques. This increased agricultural productivity, providing a surplus of food and labor that supported the growing urban workforce during the Industrial Revolution.
