The British Colonial policy in her West African territories was marked by the following strategies and structures except
- divide and rule
- economic exploitation
- indirect rule
-
investments in the colonies
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
The British did not prioritise major investments in infrastructure unless they directly benefited colonial administration and trade (e.g., railways to transport goods to ports). Most profits from West African resources were sent to Britain rather than reinvested in local development. Education and healthcare systems were underdeveloped compared to what was available in Britain.
