Industrialization impacted the economy in all the ways described by the options:
- People migrated from the countryside to cities: urbanization was a key feature of the Industrial Revolution because as the industries developed in urban areas, they demanded labour. On the other hand, in the country side, there was also a techincal and economic change that resulted in the introduction of large scale farming. This resulted in farmers without land that had to migrate.
- The Iron industry expanded with the Industrial Revolution: due to technical innovations and the needs of these material by key activities (like the railways), the production of iron soared.
- Food was increasingly produced in large scale farms rather than in homes. This was a result of the specialization of the economic activities: farms produced only few goods that would be traded in the market
- Cotton industry was one the pillars of the Industrial Revolution. Thanks to innovations and because of the needs of an increasing population for clothing, textile factories demanded more and more cotton which resulted in the rise in its production.
- Railroad lines were constructed across Europe during the XIX century. They allowed not only quicker communications between the different cities and countries, but also the transportation of goods between regions.
