The correct explanation is: The British Empire bought opium and cotton from India, sold the opium to China, and then used the profits to buy tea from China. This three-way trade system benefited the British Empire, but it resulted in the exploitation of the colonies, their resources, and the people living within them. The opium trade caused harm to Chinese society, leading to addiction and social problems, while the cotton trade negatively impacted Indian farmers and contributed to economic exploitation. Overall, the three-way trade system had detrimental effects on the people and places that were colonized by the British Empire.
