Questions: How did the Industrial Revolution change economies throughout Europe? A. It introduced systems of mercantile production. B. It introduced systems of agricultural production. C. It introduced systems of mass production. D. It introduced systems of government production.

The answer is C. It introduced systems of mass production.

Mercantile production refers to the economic system that was prevalent before the Industrial Revolution, characterized by trade and commerce. The Industrial Revolution marked a shift away from this system.

While the Agricultural Revolution did precede and contribute to the Industrial Revolution, the latter is more specifically associated with changes in manufacturing and industry rather than agriculture.

This is the correct answer. The Industrial Revolution brought about significant changes in manufacturing processes, including the introduction of machinery, factories, and mass production techniques. This led to increased production efficiency and the ability to produce goods on a much larger scale.

Government production is not a defining characteristic of the Industrial Revolution. The period was more about private enterprise and the rise of industrial capitalism rather than government-controlled production systems.
