To determine which statement is false, we need to analyze each statement and verify its accuracy based on the historical context of the mining and agriculture industry in the nineteenth century.

A. Specialization became more common: Specialization refers to the division of labor and the concentration of individuals and businesses on specific tasks or industries. In the nineteenth century, industrialization led to increased specialization in both the mining and agriculture industries. Therefore, this statement is true, and it contradicts your choice.

The development of new technologies and the expansion of transportation networks created opportunities for individuals and companies to invest in these sectors. This statement is true.

C. Large companies tried to be paternalistic to keep workers from rebelling: Paternalism refers to a system in which employers or companies exercise control and provide benefits to their workers, often to prevent labor unrest. In the nineteenth century, large companies, particularly in the mining and agriculture industries, did adopt paternalistic strategies to maintain control and workforce stability. This statement is true.

D. Reliance on export crops provided peasants a more reliable source of income: In many agricultural societies, peasants relied on the cultivation of cash crops for export to earn income. In the nineteenth century, this reliance continued, and the growth of global trade made export crops even more important. Therefore, this statement is true.
