The correct answer is (D)
Explanation:
Peter the Great was the Tsar of Russia between 1682 and 1725. He sought to transform Russia into a great European power, and sucessfully expanded the territory of the Russian Empire through a series of wars against its neighbors.
Worried for what he deemed to be the backwardness of his country, he also launched a modernization program, aiming to Europeanize Russia. He adopted European clothing styles, customs, and manners, and reformed the country's administrative systems such as the Duma and other consultative bodies following European models. He founded the city of St. Petersburg on the shores of the Baltic Sea, and modelled it after other Europeans capitals, with the city becoming Russia's window into Europe. As part of his modernizing drives, he <u>adopted </u><u>mercantilist</u><u> policies to stimulate growth of the economy</u>, in the same vein other Europeans power had done during that time. Peter the Great hoped to improve agriculture by adopting modern practices and to develop a domestic industry. However, due to Russia's economic backwardness and huge size, the mercantilist policies weren't as successful as expected and Russia remained a primarily feudal agricultural state.
While he felt short of his goal of fully Europeanizing Russia, Peter the Great's policies had a huge impact on Russia, transforming it into a major European power.
