Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extensive agricultural cultivation from 1870 to 1910 meant that there was a significant increase in both the acreage under cultivation and agricultural output. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate answer. Option A is incorrect because an increase in cultivation would generally lead to an increase in output per man-hour. Option C is also incorrect because the proportion of the labor force engaged in agriculture may have remained the same or even declined due to increased productivity in other sectors. Option D is incorrect because Option A and Option C are not true.
