A. the use of interchangeable parts
Explanation: Interchangeable parts made mass production and faster assembly/repair possible in factories (Eli Whitney's work), directly increasing factory output. Electricity wasn't widely available in the early 1800s, canals improved transportation but not factory production itself, and the mechanical reaper boosted agricultural—not factory—productivity.
