Which term refers to a colony or area under control of another?

• A. Culture
• B. Royal period (colony)
• C. Colony
• D. Economics

Answer: (C)

A territory controlled by another country is called a colony. This term describes lands that are governed or exploited by a distant power, often to gain resources, trade advantages, or strategic benefits. That matches the phrase describing “a colony or area under control of another.”

Culture refers to shared beliefs, practices, and ways of life, not political control. Economics deals with money, resources, and how goods are produced and distributed. The term “royal colony” can describe a colony governed by the crown, but it’s a specific type, not the general concept. So colony is the best fit because it directly names a land under another nation’s control.
