The correct answer is:
**C. Direct rule occurs when a colony is directly ruled by foreign powers, while indirect rule occurs when local people administrate on behalf of foreign powers.**
This option accurately describes the distinction between the two forms of imperial rule. Direct rule involves foreign powers exerting total control over the governance of a colony, while indirect rule allows local leaders to maintain a degree of authority while still being ultimately governed by the imperial power.
