"B. Little money was invested in technology or infrastructure not related to exports" would be the best option, since the European powers during this time were only interested in harvesting as many resources as possible.

Sadie Rodgers · Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Little money was invested in technology or infrastructure not related to exports.

This means that you could see super developed roads that were used for export, and right next to them you could see a village that was still made out of clay and straw and with shacks and similar things. Anything that wasn't related to the industry and export was severely underdeveloped compared to the industry.
