Why did trade double in Glasgow between 1750 and 1765?

The correct answer will be the only answer that doesn’t help explain why trade doubled in Glasgow between 1750 and 1765. The correct answer could give irrelevant information that fails to help explain the doubling or information that makes the doubling seem more confusing.

If (A) is true, trade doubling in Glasgow between 1750 and 1765 could have resulted from a general increase in trade between Scotland and England because of the technological revolution.

Imports are part of trade, so if (B) is true, the increase in imports to Glasgow because of the reductions in tariffs could help explain why trade doubled in Glasgow between 1750 and 1765.

Financial transactions becoming more efficient could make trade easier to complete and, therefore, help explain why trade doubled in Glasgow between 1750, when its first bank was established, and 1765.

If (D) is true, the ease of transportation afforded by improvements made to roads in Scotland between 1750 and 1758 could help explain the increase in trade in Glasgow between 1750 and 1765.

The initial government regulation of Scottish banks didn’t occur until 1765. We’re focused on why trade doubled in Glasgow between 1750 and 1765, so (E) is irrelevant.
