The correct explanation is: **Sea ports facilitated shipping goods and receiving raw materials.**
This is because early factories benefited from being close to major waterways for transportation of raw materials needed for production and for shipping finished goods to market. The proximity to ports allowed for efficient trade and logistics, which were crucial for the success of factories in that era.
