Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Chartered Companies like the Massachusetts Bay Company and Hudson's Bay Company were given the right to a total monopoly on trade in a region, and this monopoly was (for economic reasons) often reinforced by military force. Notably, this was not because they supplied monarchs with exotic materials, but principally for Mercantalist purposes (although the former also played a role).
