Solution

The correct option is B Colonies are countries/areas whose resources are used for the benefit of another country.
Colonies can be defined as countries whose resources are used for the benefit of another country. When Britain realised that they needed more raw matierials for their industries and new markets to sell their products, they started colonising countries for their own benefit. India was one such colony controlled by the British colonial rulers.
