a.

Imperialism is the extension of a nation's power and authority over other territories, often through territorial conquest, annexation, colonization, or domination (military, political or economic). Option d (buying property) is too narrow — economic influence can be a tool of imperialism, but imperialism is not simply purchasing property.
