Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The political condition was not favourable.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Germany and France were not politically stable like Britain: Germany was not united until 1870 CE, and France was facing many wars and revolutions. Germany also did not have access to colonial resources, as they did not have extensive colonies.
