A) Labour unrest
B) Resource crunch
C) Exhaustion of coal reserves
D) Development of this industry in countries which were the main suppliers of raw material earlier.
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
The main reason for the decline of cotton textile industry in Britain was scarcity of raw material. Britain does not produce cotton at all and used to import cotton from the tropical countries including India. Most of the British colonies became independent and started developing their own industries. Countries like India and China became self-sufficient and Japan became the major rival and captured major markets in the eastern countries. Earlier, India used to import British cotton textile products but now Indian ready- made garments are very popular in Britain.
