I recall a practice question that mentioned mass production, but that seemed more related to the second industrial revolution. So, I don't think B is correct.

I'm a bit hesitant on this one. The question is asking about a specific concept, the 'fourth industrial revolution', and I want to make sure I understand it fully before committing to an answer. I'll review my notes and try to identify the key characteristics of this idea.

If this is the 'fourth' industrial revolution, I wonder what happened to the first three. Were they lost in the mail or something?

Option D? Really? Outsourcing and low-cost labor? That's just the standard capitalist playbook. The fourth industrial revolution is about so much more than that.

I'm not sure that a universal basic income is really part of the fourth industrial revolution. That's more of a potential social response, not the description of the revolution itself.
