Option: a. it held that goods should be produced in whatever portion of the empire was most economically efficient.

Britain being an empire, had to run by keeping its economy secure, therefore introduced the system of mercantilism. Under mercantilism, the British took the colonies as moneymakers for the Empire. The British colonies expected to provide raw materials (cotton, fur, timber, etc.) to the mother country and in return, buy British manufactured goods.
