Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Long winter that paused agriculture
1. The text enumerates England's industrial advantages.
2. It names iron and coal availability, damp climate, colonial raw materials, profit-driven capital, cheap labour, naval exports.
3. A 'long winter pausing agriculture' is not in the list — it is the odd factor out.
