d. liberia successfully resisted colonization because of an alliance with the united states.

Explanation:

Liberia was founded by the American Colonization Society as a homeland for freed African - American slaves. The United States had an interest in Liberia, which provided some protection. While most African countries were colonized by European powers (e.g., Britain, France, Germany, etc.) during the era of European imperialism, Liberia's connection to the US (though not a formal colony of the US) helped it avoid direct European colonization.

Answer:

D. Liberia successfully resisted colonization because of an alliance with the United States.
