The answer to you question would be (c) hope this helps.

The correct option is C

The Chinese defeat in the two wars forced the government to tolerate the opium trade. The British coerced the Chinese to sign the Unequal Treaties, opening several ports to foreign trade and annexing Hong Kong. Portugal followed the British, forcing unequal terms of trade with China and the expansion of Macao, under Portuguese rule since the sixteenth century.
