Solution

The correct option is C Leopold II
In the late Nineteenth century King Leopold II of Belgium attempted to influence the Belgian government to support colonial expansion around the then-largely unexplored Congo Basin. The rulers showed a sheer ambivalence and hence Leopold was successful in establishing a colony there.
