Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Industrial Revolution in England fundamentally transformed the socio-economic landscape. Statement 1 is correct as the cottage industry, where production occurred in small workshops or homes, was replaced by the factory system utilizing machines like the spinning jenny and steam engine [c2][c3][c5]. Statement 2 is incorrect; industrialization triggered massive rural-to-urban migration, causing the urban population to rise from 9% in 1800 to 62% by 1900, thereby depleting rather than overpopulating villages [t2][t3][t8]. Statement 3 is correct as the creation of a large industrial working class (proletariat) led to the emergence of working-class movements and labor unions to address deplorable living and working conditions [t1][t3][t4]. Consequently, only statements 1 and 3 are accurate impacts of the revolution.
