The answer is D) It is the first step in devaluing a colonized country’s entire culture.
Explanation:
In the past, the colonizers used the language as a tool to evangelize the colonized region. In this manner, they made people forget about their traditional beliefs in order to convert them into theirs. Also, they used to think the colonized people were “uncivilized”, that is why they considered pertinent to impose their traditions, religion and lifestyle. The native people would be threatened to not speak their own languages or else they would be killed.
This is an act of aggression, not of unity as A and B suggest. C is completely off base, and D is the one that makes rational sense and we have seen time and time again in history.
