Which statement best describes the social structure created in colonial areas by imperial powers?

Imperial powers generally organized colonial society unequally, with wealthy or privileged groups holding more power while many colonized people remained poor and had fewer rights. This pattern applied to colonies controlled by Great Britain, Japan, and France, so choice B best describes their social structures. Choices A and D incorrectly suggest these empires promoted equality, while C describes only France and overstates its aims.
