The correct answer is B. Increase in the incidence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
Explanation:
Both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are eating disorders that involve unhealthy habits such as restricting food intake or inducing oneself to vomit after eating. These habits aim at making the individual thin, although in most cases individuals suffering from these disorders are underweight and unhealthy even to the point their lives are at risk.
Besides this, the incidence of these eating disorders has increased over time; indeed, in westernized countries anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa increase in incidence since 1960. This is explained because one of the factors that contribute to the development of both disorders is cultural ideas about thinness, and since 1960 the idea of being thin has increased in importance which is supported in media by mainly including actors or models that are unrealistically thin. Also, since the 1960s there has been an emphasis on body image, healthy weight, and diets.
President Theodore Roosevelt sent troops to support Panamanian rebels in the fight against Colombia so that the Colombians would grant the United States the rights to build a canal, which was in the best interest of the US.

Because the Industrial Revolution increased the production capacity of Western states astronomically, there was an enormous hunger for raw materials to satisfy demands. Thus, Western powers sought colonies where raw materials were abundant and where they could be appropriated at little to no cost. Additionally, colonies gave the Western powers a ready-made market for their goods, as the colonized people were left with little to no legal recourse to produce their own finished products. Technological advances in Western arms and transportation commonly made indigenous resistance to imperial incursions futile and short-lived, as Westerners had far superior weapons, ammunition, strategy and tactics.
Additionally, technological advances made former threats to European settlement and survival in equatorial zones less daunting. For example, the development of the steamship eradicated the danger posed by the mouths of many African rivers. The steamship could simply be dissembled, brought inland and then reassembled for river travel, while wooden sailing ships previously could not. Similarly, industrial age advances in medicine brought quinine, a supplement that exponentially increased the survival rate of Western imperialists in malarial areas, acting as a preventative, though not a cure. Thus, Westerners could now worry much less about disease, whereas before quinine, severe fever and even death often came within weeks after arrival.
