Cassius Rivas · Answer 2

The right answer is:

c. England was seen as a powerful force when it came to global, economic, and political issues.

Explanation:

Victorian England used to boast that the British Empire was so vast that it was "the empire on which the sun never sets." Great Britain was the most powerful country of the world for most of the 19th century and until 1918, it had the largest navy, the largest fleet of merchant ships, and a formidable army. It was totally industrialized and possessed more colonies than anyone else.
