Answer 1

D. Two of the countries were subject to imperialism and one maintained its independence

Answer 2

The Correct answer is "D".

Ethiopia is one of the few nations that managed to maintain its independence over the European Colonization that invaded Africa in the 19th century. On the other hand, Egypt was overtaken by British forces in 1882 and would be controlled by them until 1912. Congo was governed by the Belgians under the rule of King Leopold II of Belgium, who gained control of the territory in 1885.
