Which of the following country was the first to undergo industrialisation?

England

Th correct answer is option 1: England

England was the first country to undergo industrialisation during the eighteenth century.

NCERT: ndustrialisation refers to the emergence of machine production, based on the use of inanimate power resources like steam or electricity. In most standard western textbook of sociology, we learn that in even the most advanced of traditional civilizations, most people were engaged in working on the land. The relatively low level of technological development did not permit more than a small minority to be freed from the chores of agricultural production. By contrast, a prime feature of industrial societies today is that a large majority of the employed population work in factories, offices or shops rather than agriculture. Over 90 per cent of people in the west live in towns and cities, where most jobs are to be found and new job opportunities are created. Not surprisingly, therefore, we usually associate urbanisation with industrialisation. They often do occur together but not always so. For instance in Britain, the first society to undergo industrialisation, was also the earliest to move from being rural to a predominantly urban country.
