The correct answer is A. Companies improve their productivity using money from investments.
Explanation
An investment is an economic concept to refers to a contribution of capital (money or other) to obtain a future profit. This placement supposes an election that resigns an immediate benefit for a future one. On the other hand, productivity is an economic term that refers to a measure that determines the profit obtained from the goods or services produced concerning the minimum indispensable production quota. According to the above, when a company has enough capital, it invests it to improve its production, advertising, sales equipment, among others, to obtain better production processes and see that improvement reflected in its profits. For example, a company that makes T-shirts may invest in sewing machines and employees to produce more T-shirts and earn higher profits. So the correct answer is A.
Africa was developing independently until it was taken by the capitalist powers of colonial Europe. Exploitation increased preventing this society of the benefit of their natural resources. By the early 20th century much of Africa, except Ethiopia and Liberia, had been colonized by European powers; even though African societies put up various forms of resistance against colonization. Between 1870 and 1900, Africa encountered military invasions done by Europe which led to an eventual conquest and colonization.
The European colonial powers were motivated by political, social and economic factors. It is important to note that Europe's first motivation for their intrusion was economic. It all started with the disintegration of the slave trade's benefits, its elimination and extinction, as well as the growth of the Industrial Revolution in Europe. Europe also wanted to control and have more lands that had raw materials which they needed for their industrial economy, and to open new markets for the goods made by them. This led to Europeans settling for extraction, appropriation of land for settlers or plantations, which made Africans to sell their work to European farmers, planters or mine-owners. Economy was monopolized by Europeans.
