Explanation:

To determine which option created the most resentment among European nations, we analyze each choice:

• "Countries mining their colonies for their own riches" was a common colonial practice, but not the most resentful trigger between nations.
• "Countries taking over each other’s colonies" directly challenged a nation’s colonial power and territory, which was a major source of tension and resentment as it threatened their economic and political interests in the colonial sphere.
• "Countries aiding the opposition forces in their colonies" could cause tension, but was less direct and widespread in creating resentment compared to taking over colonies.
• "Countries establishing colonies next to theirs" was more about expansion near borders, but taking over existing colonies was a more aggressive and resented action.

Answer:

B. countries taking over each other's colonies
