Explanation:

Mercantilism is an economic theory where a nation's wealth is measured by its precious metals, and it assumes the world's wealth is finite. So countries sought to accumulate wealth (like gold) by exporting more than importing, as wealth was seen as limited. Option B is about religion (not central to mercantilism), C goes against mercantilism's focus on national accumulation, and D is about racial views (not central to the economic concept of mercantilism).

Answer:

A. There's limited wealth in the world.
