Answer 1

Answer 2

Option D, the loom was invented first to increase textile production, and then the gin produced more cotton, is the right answer.

In the year  1784, Edmund Cartwright designed the first power loom and it was built in the year 1785. This became one of the important advancements in the industrialization during the early days of the industrial revolution. The invention of loom increased the production of cotton. The increasing production was accompanied by the introduction of the Cotton Gin by Eli Whitney. This newly invented cotton gin was prepared to successfully extract out the seeds from the cotton bolls. Thus, it can be seen that the increasing production of cotton was accompanied by the cotton gin in the later period of the industrial revolution.
