Answer
A
respect for human rights
B
anti-colonial feelings
C
economic growth in Africa
D
economic growth in Europe
E
US and European war debts

Explanation

After World War II, growing respect for human rights and opposition to colonial rule strengthened demands for independence. Anti-colonial movements also pressed European powers to end their control. In addition, the war left the United States and European countries with heavy debts and weakened economies, making it harder to maintain empires. Economic growth in Africa or Europe was not a principal reason for decolonization.
