Answer 1

Answer: According to the text, the following that is true of the majority of countries that constitute the global south is c) They were formerly under colonial rule.

Explanation: This is a common characteristic of most countries in the global south as they were dominated by European colonial powers, resulting in the exploitation of their resources and people, and the establishment of economic, political, and cultural systems that served the interests of the colonizing countries. The legacy of colonialism has resulted in many of these countries facing political instability, economic underdevelopment, and a lack of access to resources and opportunities.
