Answer
A

B
In industry, the job of creating an object often is broken down into many steps, each of which is done by a different person.
C
Even as new energy sources are discovered, former energy sources continue to be used.
D
The concept of interchangeable parts was critical to the success of the assembly-line process.

Explanation

Mass production did not eliminate factory work; it changed how work was organized and often required many people to perform specialized tasks in factories. Breaking production into steps and using interchangeable parts helped make assembly lines efficient. Also, older energy sources often remain in use after new ones are discovered. Therefore, the false statement is A: “Mass production eliminated the need for people to work in factories.”
