Solution

The correct option is A Mercantilism
The goal of mercantilism is to gather as much wealth as possible because wealth impacted the nation’s power. According to the concept of mercantilism, a country can become powerful in two ways. One, the country has to accumulate the largest share of wealth in the form of gold and silver. Two, a country can also develop its wealth by exporting more and importing less.
