The correct answer is C) Rose up in the Boxer Rebellion

Explanation:

By the end of the 19th Century, western colonial powers had an increasing influence in China. With worsening droughts, rising prices and joblessness, there was a general feeling among the population of an ever more powerful western power that was making life difficult for the ordinary folk.

The rebels were known as 'Boxers' since most of them were Chinese martial artist practitioners who believed they would be able to overpower western armies.

They first attacked the most visible western institutions, the churches and the Christians. The attacks further intensified against barracks and forts.

However, their attempts failed miserably and by the end of the Rebellion, western powers of Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and even Japan had a much stronger position in China.
