Base your answer to the question on the table below and your knowledge of social studies.

| Year | GNP per Capita (dollars) | Employed Children under 15 Years of Age (millions) | % of U.S. Population (Rural) | % of U.S. Population (Urban) | Infant Mortality Rate (deaths under 1 year of age per 1,000) | High School Graduates (% of 17-year-olds with a diploma) | Telephone Usage (number of telephones per 1,000) | Steel Production (1,000 tons) |
|------|--------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|
| 1870 | 531 | 0.7 | 74 | 26 | 170 | 2 | 0 | 7 |
| 1890 | 744 | 1.1 | 72 | 28 | 161 | 2.5 | 1 | 1,400 |

Given the data from the table, we can analyze the different trends related to industrialization between 1870 and 1910. Here are the notable points:

1. Urbanization is linked to industrialization:
- In 1870, 74% of the U.S. population was rural, and 26% was urban.
- By 1910, the rural population had decreased to 54%, while the urban population had increased to 46%.
- This significant shift suggests that there was a trend of people moving from rural areas to urban areas, which is consistent with the rise of industrialization, as factories and industrial jobs were typically located in urban areas.

2. More men than women worked in factories:
- This statement cannot be supported by the data from the table. The table does not provide any information on the gender distribution of the workforce in factories.

3. Increased steel production led to an increase in railroads:
- While the table does provide data on steel production (which increased from 7,000 tons in 1870 to 28,330 tons in 1910), there is no data specifically linking steel production to the number or extent of railroads. Additional historical context is needed to support this statement beyond the data provided.

4. Industrialization led to an increase in college graduates:
- The table does provide information on high school graduation rates but does not include data on college graduates. Therefore, we cannot support this statement based on the information provided.

In conclusion, the statement that can be supported by information from the table is:
1. Urbanization is linked to industrialization.
