Jakob Gill · Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. through multinational corporations that reap profits from cheap labor

Explanation:

The dependence theory explains how nowadays, the low income countries depend economically on high-income countries, who normally buy their raw material in these third world countries, in order to convert it into primary manufactured products that will be sold again to low-income countries.

Taking into account this chain explained by the dependence theory, it is kind of impossible to get out this circle; unless the country, the entire nation made drastic changes in its organization and way of operation to completely change its economic model. That is the reason why, exploitation will continue as a way of operation in postcolonial countries.
