"America should acquire new sources of natural resources."

Imperialism is the idea of extending authority over foreign nations, usually for political and economic gain. Feeling the need to get new sources of natural resources makes sense in terms of going overseas to acquire economic power. Therefore this statement is the one that supports imperialism.
