Explanation
The industrial revolution was a period of great change and economic growth marked by new manufacturing processes. The primary factors of production recognized during this era included raw materials, labor force, and capital for investment. These things are part of what allowed the industrial revolution to take shape and evolve. On the other hand, unionization is also associated with the industrial period but it was actually a counter-effect; unions formed as a response to working conditions during this time, but they were not a contributing factor to the revolution's kick-off. Therefore, unlike the other three options (Raw materials, cheap labor force, capital), Unionization was not a factor of production.
