C. They wanted the natural resources in Africa.
European nations colonized Africa primarily for its natural resources, including minerals, agricultural products, and other raw materials that were valuable for industrialization and economic growth in Europe. While there were other motivations, such as strategic interests and the spread of Christianity, the primary driving force was economic exploitation of Africa's resources.
