The early industrialized countries powered by mechanization and electrification experienced a long accumulation process and consumed a lot of mineral resources, as was the case in the United Kingdom and France. With mechanization, electrification, electronics and informationization as "comprehensive power", Emerging industrialized countries and regions with "world factories" as their main features have achieved industrialization by rapidly consuming energy and raw materials in only half or less of the time and consuming half of the per capita resources of the first-mover countries. This is the case in Japan and South Korea. This shows that electronicization and informatization can enable late-developing countries to consume less resources per capita and achieve leapfrog development. Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion? ['First-mover countries can also rely on knowledge and technological innovation to develop the economy and support social progress and sustainable economic development.', 'Early exploration experience in early-developed countries avoids most of the resource consumption in later-developed countries.', 'Unlike traditional society, people in modern society have many other needs in addition to basic living needs, so the consumption of natural resources has also greatly increased.', 'Technological progress generally comes from the first-mover countries, which itself is achieved on the basis of consuming large amounts of energy.']
