Which of the Following Statements Most Accurately Describes the Impact

Which of the following statements most accurately describes the impact of the development of core-dependent economic zones on state formation?

A) Forced labor and European influence tended to generate weak governments in dependent regions, while increased trade revenues tended to generate increasing government strength in core states.
B) While the profits of global trade tended to strengthen the governments of core regions, the creation of colonies extended powerful governments to dependent zones as well.
C) The efforts of international trade tended to enrich private commercial interests but weaken core governments who were unable to tap the wealth. Dependent zone governments, based on company organization, tended to be strong.
D) No state government benefitted from the creation of core-dependent zones. Neither core regions nor colonies were able to develop strong, centralized governments.
