The correct answer is - c. the coast with Lake Victoria.

During the Scramble of Africa, the British had under their control large portions of the continent, and in order to strengthen their positions they started building railways. The railways were very useful for quicker transportation of people, soldiers, and goods, so the British invested in it so that they can get the maximum of the territory.

The building of the railway from the eastern coast to the Lake Victoria was a strategic move. This railroad enabled for easier transportation of goods, which contributed to the British to accumulate even more wealth. Also, it enabled an easier control of the African Great Lakes region, and being one step i front of the competition for the African territories.

How do ridges and rises differ? Rises are broader and more gently sloped than ridges. Divergence occurs more quickly at a ridge.

Leni [432]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Mid-oceanic ridges are the regions along which two distinct plates move away from one another. This type of plate boundary is known as the divergent plate boundary.

Whereas a rise occurs along a divergent plate boundary and is mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, where the magma is forced to rise up forming a gently steeper underwater highland area.

Both these features occur in a divergent plate boundary and plays an important role in pushing the continents apart. So we can conclude that the rises are mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, and ridges are formed due to the seafloor spreading at divergent plate boundaries.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
