Why did concern for balance of power grow in European imperial rivalry?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because no great power wanted another power to become too strong

Imperial expansion increased competition for territory, markets, routes and influence; each great power feared that a rival might gain an overwhelming advantage. Hence option B is correct. A is wrong because powers actively sought influence, while C and D contradict the continuing existence of colonies, armies and imperial rivalry in Europe.
