Question

what is the best definition of the term \cottage industry\?
○ a group of cottages that serves as a factory
○ a group or community that starts an industry together
○ people who leave their homes to work for industries
○ people who produce goods out of their homes

Explanation:

A cottage industry refers to a system where goods are manufactured in individual homes rather than in centralized factories, typically by family members or small groups using simple tools. This aligns with the definition of people producing goods out of their homes. The other options are incorrect: it is not about cottages as factories, community-started industries, or people leaving homes to work elsewhere.

Answer:

people who produce goods out of their homes
