Correct answer: "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."

Explanation: Under direct rule, the imperial power sends its own officials to govern; under indirect rule, the imperial power uses existing local rulers or institutions to administer the colony under supervision.
