Explanation:

Hawaii's contact with outsiders (like American and European influences) led to its annexation, resulting in the loss of independence. Option B is incorrect as trading was exploited, not improved for Hawaii's benefit. Option C is wrong as the monarchy was weakened, not expanded. Option D is incorrect as outside contact disrupted local traditions, not solidified them.
