Solution

The correct option is C French
South East Asia consists of areas that originally covered Malaya, Dutch East Indies, Burma, Siam, French Indochina, and the Philippines. This term “South East Asia” came into use only after the Second World War. The major players in these areas were the British, the Dutch and the French. Europeans were mainly interested in South East Asia for its spices.
