Statement 1 is correct as Britain was the pioneer of industrialization [c1][t1]. Statement 2 is correct; England possessed abundant coal and iron, alongside other minerals like lead, copper, and tin essential for industrial processes [c2][t2]. Statement 4 is also correct; Britain's geography, featuring a navigable network of rivers and an indented coastline, facilitated the efficient movement of goods and raw materials before the widespread adoption of railways [t2][t4].
