Explanation:

To determine the example of direct rule, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Accepting Indigenous culture doesn't align with direct rule's typical approach of imposing the home country's system.
• Option 2: Considering colonies separate is more related to indirect rule or a different governance view, not direct rule.
• Option 3: Direct rule involves the colonizers (Westerners here) ruling with their own system, often without Indigenous input or influence, which matches the concept of direct rule.
• Option 4: Protecting Indigenous people from forced change is not characteristic of direct rule, as direct rule usually enforces the colonizer's norms.

Answer:

C. Westerners ruled without the influence of Indigenous people.
