The correct answer is B. Agricultural Revolution.

The Agricultural Revolution, which included advancements in farming techniques and practices, led to increased food production, thereby supporting larger populations and contributing to a significant rise in world population during the eighteenth century. While the Industrial Revolution also played a role in population growth later on, the initial dramatic increase is more directly attributed to improvements in agriculture.
