A model of industrial development traces the growth of an industrial region through four stages, from small-scale dispersed pre-factory production to eventual industrial decline. Which stage is characterised by the emergence of a factory system, with industrial towns beginning to develop and link along a transport corridor?

AInfancy

BYouth

CMaturity

DSenility

Explanation: The Youth stage marks the point where a factory system first emerges and industrial towns begin to grow and link along transport corridors, a step beyond the dispersed craft production of Infancy but before the dense, fully-linked network of Maturity.
