Answer:
A. Colonization
Step-by-step explanation:
Colonization is the process of the establishment of colonies by settling among the indigenous people of an area and establishing control over them. Many European nations had numerous colonies they claimed because of their wealth. The greatest colonizer of all time was the British empire. By 1913, it ruled over 412 million people (23% of the world population at the time), and by 1920, it covered 35,500,000 square kilometers (24% of the Earth's total land area).
