Answer 1

Based on the context provided, the following reasons could apply to why more resources were directed into agricultural production:

1. Agricultural produce became more important for middle-class people.
2. European and American styles changed and fur went out of fashion.
3. Beaver were overtrapped and became too scarce to be profitable.

These responses indicate shifts in demand and supply dynamics that could compel a company like the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) to transition towards agricultural production. The other two options suggest external pressures related to competition and business models but do not directly imply a necessity for increased agricultural resources.
