Answer:

C) Indochina

Step-by-step explanation:

Indochina was part of the French Colonial Empire. It was the region in the French domain that remained even after France lost its territories in North America and India.

After decades of serving as a colony of French economic exploitation, Indochina fell under Japanese control during World War II. Although the French regained control of the region after the war, independence movements throughout Indochina grew strong enough to continue their anti-French struggle.

French Indochina was designated as a colony of economic exploitation by the French government. Funding for the colonial government came through taxes on local populations and the French government almost established a monopoly on the trade of opium, salt and rice alcohol.
