Correct choices: transportation improvements and new power sources.

Brief explanation: better transportation (canals, railroads, steamships) expanded markets and lowered shipping costs, while new power sources (steam engines, later electricity) increased factory productivity and enabled larger-scale manufacturing. Labor unions were mainly a reaction to industrialization, not a primary cause of its growth.
