C Correct answer
Explanation

Spreading culture was considered a social justification for imperialism, often referred to as the 'white man's burden' or civilizing mission. However, spreading Christianity (option A) is also a valid social reason and might be considered more specific. The question is somewhat ambiguous as both A and C could be correct depending on interpretation.
