a feudalism.
b capitalism.
c mercantilism.
d barter system.

Explanation:

Mercantilism is an economic system focused on increasing a nation's exports and accumulating bullion (precious metals), and its rise was linked to the discovery of the New World. Feudalism is a social/political system with landholding and vassalage, not centered on trade/exports. Capitalism emphasizes private ownership and market-driven production, developing later. The barter system involves direct exchange of goods without money, not about building bullion or mother - country trade. So the correct option is C.

Answer:

C. mercantilism.
