What effect could colonialism have on local industries?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Many local industries could become weak

The direct answer is D: many local industries could become weak. Colonialism often reorganized a colony’s economy to serve the needs of the ruling power. Policies could encourage the export of raw materials and the import of manufactured goods from the colonial country. Local producers then faced unfair competition, loss of markets, taxation or restrictions, and some crafts and industries declined. The exact effect differed by place and period, so “could become weak” is appropriately cautious. Option D is correct. Option A is wrong because colonialism did not always strengthen local industry; in many cases it damaged it. Option B is wrong because economic policies clearly affected local producers and workers. Option C is irrelevant and historically meaningless: industries do not become kings. The useful exam link is colonialism–economic exploitation–decline of local industries. Remember that “could” allows for variation while identifying a common pattern.
