A

Explanation:

Eli Whitney was the person most responsible for initiating the use of interchangeable parts in manufacturing, and he first invented a machine that separated the cotton seed from the cotton fiber. He also used those parts that can be substituted (interchangeable parts) for the production of weapons, at a low price, with unskilled workers, which reduced greatly the prices to repair and replace parts.
