That's correct, D is the correct answer. European colonizers exploited Southeast Asia by using its resources for their own benefits, such as exploiting labor and extracting valuable resources like rubber and oil.
The correct answer is D. European colonizers exploited Southeast Asia by using its resources for their own gain.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the historical context of European colonization in Southeast Asia. European colonizers, such as the British, Dutch, French, Portuguese, and Spanish, sought to establish colonies in Southeast Asia primarily to exploit its rich natural resources like spices, timber, minerals, and agricultural products. They imposed colonial rule, established trade monopolies, and utilized forced labor to extract and export these resources back to Europe. This economic exploitation resulted in significant wealth accumulation for European powers and the marginalization of local populations.
The other options listed are not the primary ways in which European colonizers exploited Southeast Asia. Option A, forcing people to migrate to other countries, was not a widespread strategy of exploitation in Southeast Asia. Option B, requiring people to speak new languages, was often imposed as a consequence of colonization, but it was not the primary goal or method of exploitation. Option C, forbidding the practice of traditional religions, was not the central objective of European colonization in Southeast Asia, although in some cases, the colonizers did attempt to suppress traditional beliefs and impose Christianity.
Therefore, the correct answer is D, by using resources for their own gain.
