b. Financial and political leaders enjoyed the benefits of imperialsim too much to cease this activity.

Explanation:

Let's look at recent history. After the end of WWII, Britain and France strove for regaining control of their colonial posessions in Africa and Asia. But their might and influence was severly undermined by the war. Britain gave independence to its colonies in the 1950s and 1960s, and the French were forced to recognize Algerian independence after a long and bloody war, and they were soundly defeated by the Vietnamese Communists in 1954 and forced to recognize North Vietnam as an independent country.
