d. by developing a process for mass-producing steel
Henry Bessemer is credited with inventing the Bessemer process in the 1850s. This process revolutionized steel production by allowing for the mass production of steel at a much lower cost. Prior to this invention, steel was a relatively expensive material and was mainly used for specialty items. With the development of the Bessemer process, steel became cheaper and more readily available, leading to its increased use in various industries, such as construction and transportation. This, in turn, played a significant role in the industrialization of the United States in the late 1800s.
