Solution

The correct option is D Manchester struggled to regain its old position in the Indian market.
Once the World War was over, Manchester struggled to regain its old position in the Indian market. Britain struggled to modernise its economy and compete with the US, Japan and Germany. As a result, the British economy collapsed after the war. Production of cotton dropped and British cotton cloth exports fell drastically. In the colonies, local industrialists slowly strengthened their position.
