how did the industrial revolution affect the power of aristocracy, or noble class?

select one:

a. their power stayed basically the same since they were the same people who owned most of the factories.

b. their power increased due to their ability to control when and where factories were built.

c. their power decreased as a new middle class of factory owners and managers grew in wealth and power.

d. their power increased because they were able to loan money to people who wanted to build factories.

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The aristocrats and noble held power because they were the wealthiest in a society and passed that down through generation and kept this power in closed circles. This would ensure their control and reduce the possibility of competition for power. The industrial revolution offered new opportunities to business owners from the middle class to possess power as they began to control land and wealth. They also provided incomes for many people, increasing their influence and standard of living.
