Question

which of the following actions could be taken as a part of economic imperialism?
a. a country takes over a neighboring territory and controls its government.
b. a country attacks its neighbors to destroy their economic institutions.
c. a country forces its neighbor to provide it with iron ore at extremely low prices.
d. a country provides financial support to its poorer neighbors.

Explanation:

Economic imperialism involves using economic means (like forcing low - price resource acquisition) to exert control over another country. Option A is more about political imperialism (taking over territory and government). Option B is destruction rather than imperialist economic control. Option D is financial support, not imperialist exploitation. Option C shows a country using its power to force a neighbor into an unfair economic deal (low - priced iron ore), which is characteristic of economic imperialism.

Answer:

C. A country forces its neighbor to provide it with iron ore at extremely low prices.
