Result of the British Enclosure Movement was Small farmers moved to cities

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The Agricultural Revolution held in Britain was the British Enclosure Movement. In 1700 the British government started taking the communal land and making it privatized. At first the communal land was common to the public where everyone used for grazing.

But during British enclosure the pieces of lands from poor farmers were taken and cultivation on rotation basis was done in the large accumulated land. The wealthy farmers hence had a dramatized increase in food production. They also started industries and mines which later led to the industrial revolution. The small farmers were forced to move to cities.
