Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An industrial society is characterized by the use of machines, powered by fuels, to mass-produce goods and services. This type of society emerged during the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and has since undergone significant changes and advancements. The other choices - horticultural, agricultural, and postindustrial - do not involve the widespread use of machines and fuels in the same way that an industrial society does.
