Well, your answer, C, is probably right. The "scramble" was for natural resources, not so much new markets. It's generally referred to as the Imperialistic period between 1881 and 1914. I was thinking of the fact that the first European efforts to establish ports in Africa was for ports along the sea route to Asia and "the Indies", but that was a few centuries earlier.
