Textile manufacturing important to the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain because "It was one of the earliest industries to find success industrializing and inspired others to follow its lead".

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

There was a shift in the economies from rural to urban of several countries during the 18th and 19th centuries including Great Britain and the United States and called the Industrial Revolution. It resulted in the development of factories and mass production.

Textile Industry was one of the most developing zone in Industrial Revolution as people use to weave cloths earlier from their own hands for themselves. But soon after Eli Whitney and his cotton gin made cotton cheaper and invention of "spinning jenny" by Thomas Highs boosted the sector.
