The factory system is a method of manufacturing using machinery and division of labour. Because of the high capital cost of machinery and factory buildings, factories were typically privatized and owned by wealthy individuals who employed the operative labour. Use of machinery with the division of labour reduced the required skill level of workers and also increased the output per worker.

The factory system was first adopted in Britain at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century and later spread around the world.[1] It replaced the putting-out system. The main characteristic of the factory system is the use of machinery, originally powered by water or steam and later by electricity. Other characteristics of the system mostly derive from the use of machinery or economies of scale, the centralization of factories, and standardization of interchangeable parts.

The correct answer is D. Chattahoochee River

Explanations.

The Chattahoochee River is a river located in the Southern of the U.S. and is part of the border of three states: Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Because of this, te Chattachooche River plays an important role in all the three states not only because it crosses different cities but also due to the attempts to preserve the river and the use of water in it. This had led to different controversies and disputes between the three states in the last decades as each state claims ownership over the river and therefore its right to use this natural resource. Therefore, the one that is likely to be the source of this legal battle is Chattahoochee River, because due to its location Alabama, Georgia, and Florida claim ownership over the river.
