C. Belgium used intimidation and violence to establish a forced labor system in the colony

Explanation:

The Belgian colony of Congo was characterized by the brutal treatment that the Belgian colonists gave to the local Congolese population.

The colony was essentially a giant forced labor camp, where mostly rubber was extracted from the Congolese jungle.

The treatment was so brutal that it was frequent for the locals to have limbs mutilated in case they did not meet their quotas, or "misbehaved".
