To find this answer, you need to read through the given responses and analyze them. The first two quotes discuss the impact of British rule on Indian industry and markets, and they both mention negative consequences such as underdevelopment and high unemployment. However, the third quote about the railroads does not directly address the long-term impact of British rule. Finally, the last quote focuses on the oppression of poor farmers and corruption among political administrators, but it does not specifically discuss the long-term impact on Indian industry. Therefore, after careful examination, the first quote is the one that assesses a long-term impact of British rule by highlighting the underdevelopment of Indian industry throughout the British rule.
