D) Dependency theory

Dependency theory states that rich countries exploit the people of poor countries, by using them as cheap labor, and thus are extracting a resource from the poor country and benefiting from the cheap labor by selling the goods they make at a very high profit. So in essence they are using resources of the poor country to make profit and get even more richer.
