Detailed Solution

Concept:
The above statement is False.
Small-scale production predominated since registered companies employed just a small share of the overall industrial labour force: 5% in 1911 and 10% in 1931. The rest worked in small workshops and residential units, which were typically hidden in alleys and bylanes. Handicraft output increased throughout the twentieth century. Even though cheap machine-made thread wiped out the spinning sector in the nineteenth century, weavers thrived. Handloom fabric production increased steadily over the twentieth century. This was due to technical advancements. Weavers employed looms with a fly shuttle by the twentieth century's second decade. This led to faster production, higher productivity per worker, and lower labour demand.
The correct statement would be that small-scale industries predominated in India in the twentieth century.
