The correct answer is C. A country encourages its neighbors to quickly industrialize their economies

Explanation.

Colonialism aims at controlling partially or completely other territory or country by invading it and exploiting it, taking advantage of the territory and the people who lived in this territory. Colonialism can also imply the imposition of practices, political system or religion to the native people. In this case, option C expresses actions of colonialism as a nation invades a territory that does not belong to the nation and the main goal of it is controlling the territory, also a specific government is imposed which means not only the country will take decisions over the neighborhood, but also they will impose their political ideas.
