अ. भारतीय कामगाराकडे आवश्यक ते तांत्रिक प्राविण्य नव्हते
ब. भारतीयांनी शेतीवर लक्ष केंद्रित केले होते
क. भारतीय माल ब्रिटिश मालाशी स्पर्धा करू शकला नाही
ड. वरीलपैकी कोणतेही नाही
वरीलपैकी कोणते विधान बरोबर आहे ?

The correct answer is Option D (Only c).

Key Points:
• Collapse of Traditional Indian Industries:
• With the advent of the Industrial Revolution in England, British factories deployed steam power and automated machinery to mass-produce cheap, standardized goods.
• Indian artisans possessed exquisite craftsmanship and skill, but their handmade goods could not compete in price and volume against the cheap machine-made goods imported duty-free into India.
• Furthermore, the British imposed exorbitant protectionist tariffs on Indian goods entering Britain, while flooding Indian domestic markets with British factory goods.
• Statement (a) is incorrect because Indian craftsmen had world-renowned technical skills, and statement (b) is incorrect because reliance on agriculture was the consequence—not the cause—of industrial decline.
• Hence, only statement (c) accurately explains the competitive destruction of indigenous handicrafts.
• Key Takeaway: India's traditional industries collapsed primarily because hand-crafted Indian products could not compete with cheap British machine-made goods.
