Solution
The correct option is C China and England
The Europeans smuggled Opium into China illegally. It was traded in return for the Chinese silk and tea, to avoid payments in precious metals like gold and silver. When the Chinese authorities realised this, they banned all trade with Europe. This led to the Opium Wars during 1839-1842 between China and England.
