Explanation:

To determine why foreign powers are jealous of Great Britain, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Great Britain during the relevant period (e.g., Industrial Revolution) was factory - based, not agriculturally based, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: During the Industrial Revolution, Great Britain had great success in factory - based wealth creation. Foreign powers would be jealous of this success as it brought economic prosperity and power to Britain.
• Option c: There is no indication that the jealousy was due to using cheap labor to make products for the poor. The main source of Britain's wealth during the relevant era was the success of its factories, not this specific practice.

Answer:

b. Impressed by the success of factory wealth.
