Answer 1

d. they brought the benefits of their superior civilization to savages

Step-by-step explanation:

Europe justified their actions when colonizing areas around the world during the 1800s by claiming that they brought the benefits of their superior civilization to savages.

This was reinforced by their belief to evangelize and spread the gospel to the "savages", bring education, and essentially to civilize a barbaric people by showing their racial superiority.
