Explanation:

1. For the question about the economic philosophy in "laissez - faire", it means minimal government intervention. So the answer is A as it describes the government letting things be done freely and optimally with little interference.
2. The patent system gives inventors exclusive rights which encourages innovation, so for the question about how the patent system contributes to industrialization, the answer is A.
3. Internal migration leading to a more even labor distribution across regions doesn't directly relate to the options about slowing down technology advancement, increasing food production, or discouraging monopolies. But it can be related to a more balanced economic development. However, among the options, if we consider that migration can lead to a more diverse labor pool and potentially more innovation, and that monopolies can sometimes hinder the spread of labor and technology, we can say that by discouraging monopolies (D), it can have a positive impact on the spread of labor and technology which can be related to the impact of migration on industrialization in a round - about way.
