Answer 1

C) After France’s surrender, its North African colonies came under German control.

Step-by-step explanation:

The importance of North Africa was the control of the mediterranean, with the surrender of France Italy did a strong advance on north africa seeking to gain more control over the routes that favored the British army.

Answer 2

I would say that after France's surrender, it allowed the Nazis to control their African colonies because defeating France also meant the usurpation of its African colonies and this then temporarily strengthened the Nazi power.
