Answer 1

The correct response is: "The British Empire bought tea from China. In exchange, it sold China opium and cotton the empire had taken from India."

Brief explanation: Britain imported large quantities of Chinese tea but had a trade deficit. To reverse the flow of silver, Britain exported opium (grown in India) to China and also funneled Indian raw materials (like cotton) into British trade networks, creating a three-way trade linking Britain, India, and China.
