The industrial revolution had what effect on the british textile industry?

The correct answer is:

D. It made the industry more reliant on machines rather than making cloth by hand.

Before the Industrial Revolution, textile making was a cottage business that used mostly flax and wool in a handloom, which would be run by the males with help of a boy, while the wife, daughters and other women made yarn for that loom. Industrial Revolution moved the cloth production away from the cottage and into manufactories.  By the 1820s, all cotton, wool, and worsted was produced in mills.
