Answer:

The answer is letter A, fit for civilization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imperialism is an ideology whereby a nation extends its rule towards other foreign nations. It is being done for political reasons and to control and influence the colonized nation. The country is not simply after the settlement intention, but it is after theoretical dominance and financial reason.

Imperialistic attitude is all about the political influence in expanding one's territory towards other nations. "Fit for civilization" is an imperialistic attitude because the colonizing nation always made changes in the colonized civilization according to how they see fit. One example of this is Great Britain's imperialistic ambition of setting up trading posts in India. They changed India's civilization by providing such trading posts. It strengthened the British economy, but caused economic plunder to the Indian economy due to the war which occurred between the Kingdom of Mysore and the British East India company.
