Explanation:

During the era of industrialization, colonial powers exploited colonies to obtain raw materials (like cotton, minerals) for their home - country industries. Finished goods were produced in the home country, labor was often sourced locally or through other means, and financing was more about domestic capital or trade. So colonies were a source of raw materials.

Answer:

D. raw materials
