What kind of impact did European imperialism have on colonies?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Local resources and labour were used for the interests of outside powers

Colonial economies were reorganised to supply raw materials, labour, revenue, and markets for the ruling power. This often weakened local control and placed pressure on indigenous producers. Option B is correct; the other choices falsely describe equality, independence, or unrestricted local development.
