Explanation:

Imperial powers often prioritized extracting resources (economic gain) from colonies like Africa, leading to the mistreatment of native populations through forced labor, land dispossession, and suppression of rights. The other options are incorrect: natives' cultures were often suppressed, economic benefits primarily went to colonizers, and wages for native workers were typically low.

Natives were mistreated because of the desire for economic gain
