Leyla Golden · Answer 1

C - western Europe had been most succeful at exploration and colonization.

The reason why this is a important factor for the success of the industrial revolution is that nations that explored and colonized different lands had a steady and cheap source of labor as well as a possible source of natural goods and materials from another area that they colonized. The most prominent example of this was the British empire.

It would be that "C. Western Europe had been most successful at exploration and colonization" that ensured that the Industrial Revolution would be successful in western Europe, since these resources were essential in order for the Revolution to flourish.
