Explanation:

The text states that Brazil's independence was different as "Portugal put his son, Dom Pedro, in charge of Brazil. When Dom...he convinced his father to allow it...avoid war against the revolutionaries". This matches the third option. The first option is incorrect as there's no mention of uniting with other colonies. The second option is wrong as it became an empire under Dom Pedro I, not a representative democracy inspired by the US Constitution.

Answer:

Portugal allowed Brazil to become independent under the rule of the king's son, avoiding a long war.
