Which statement explains how colonialism led to a consolidation of power for White men?

Answer

Marginalized groups resisted the legacies of colonialism, patriarchy, and White supremacy through civil rights activism and social justice movements.

The spread of colonialism and capitalist economies led to an increased standard of living for Indigenous peoples in colonized regions.

Colonialism and social systems based on patriarchy and White supremacy operated separately from each other, which hid their legacies.

Capitalist economies, patriarchy, and White supremacy reshaped colonized societies.

Explanation

Colonialism often reorganized societies to serve capitalist economies while reinforcing patriarchal authority and White supremacy. Together, these systems concentrated wealth, political influence, and social power in the hands of White men. Choice D describes this reshaping; choice A describes resistance to colonialism rather than how colonialism consolidated power.
