b. flying shuttle
c. water frame
d. spinning mule
check answer

Explanation:

The water - frame was a significant invention of the Industrial Revolution. It was housed in factories and powered by waterwheels, which led to the decline of the cottage industry as production shifted from homes to factories. The spinning wheel was a pre - Industrial Revolution tool used in cottage industries. The flying shuttle was an important weaving innovation but didn't have the same impact on the decline of the cottage industry in the same way as the water - frame. The spinning mule was another important textile machine but not the one that directly led to the decline of the cottage industry due to factory - based and water - powered production.

Answer:

c. Water frame
