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.
This three-way trade system, often referred to as the opium trade, involved the British Empire using opium, produced in India, to trade for tea in China, which was highly valued in Britain. The system significantly impacted the economies and societies involved, especially in China, where opium addiction became a widespread issue.
