D. the use of interchangeable parts
Interchangeable parts (promoted by inventors like Eli Whitney around the turn of the 19th century) allowed goods to be produced faster and repaired more easily, enabling mass production in factories. The other choices either affected transportation/agriculture (canals, mechanical reaper) or came later (widespread electricity).
