Answer:

For some extra context, imperialism was much more prevalent during the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries.

[C] Laissez-faire is a method of practicing capitalism that the federal government used in the US. The phrase <em>laissez-faire</em> is French and essentially means "let it be," which follows the conservative economic ideal of not regulating the market.
