Question

Replacing human labor with tools and machines to increase production and efficiency is called: A. Urbanization B. Industrialization C. Mechanization D. Philanthropy

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Mechanization

Explanation:

Mechanization is the process that replaces human labor with machinery, in order to increase production and efficiency.

This was seen largely during the Industrial Revolution, where goods made by hand (in cotton industries) began to be made by machines in factories.

This switch with mechanization allowed for huge improvements in productivity and efficiency in industry.

So, the correct answer is C. Mechanization
