Answer:
The correct answer is C. The "scramble" for lands in Africa and Asia were prompted by increasing needs for raw material and new markets bought about by the Industrial Revolution.
Explanation:
The Scramble for Africa was the phase of the colonialization process of Africa between circa 1880 and the beginning of the First World War. During this period, a number of European powers attempted to bring as much of Africa as possible under their direct rule. Until then, the role of Europe had in many cases (but not always) been limited to establishing trading posts and less direct forms of exercising power, such as concluding treaties with local rulers. As the nineteenth century progressed, it was considered increasingly urgent to be ahead of other European powers. At the Conference of Berlin of 1885, the European countries "divided" Africa among themselves.
The economic importance was twofold: tapping new markets for their own industry and investment opportunities for their own capital, and on the other hand finding sources of cheap raw materials and labor. Most European countries had experienced strong industrialization in the second half of the 19th century, in particular the United Kingdom, Germany and Belgium. Although the own markets were usually not yet saturated, new markets were looked for. These were often not present on their own continent because other markets were protected by import duties and other restrictions.
