Explanation:

To determine how Britain gained raw materials like cotton during the Industrial Revolution, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Purchasing from India alone doesn't fully explain the scale; Britain's colonial control over India and the Americas (e.g., plantations in Americas, colonial exploitation in India) was key, not just purchase.
• Option b: Trading with Ottomans was not the primary source for cotton for Britain's industrial needs.
• Option c: Britain had colonies in India (where cotton was grown and exploited) and the Americas (especially with cotton plantations, often using slave labor), which were major sources of raw cotton for its textile industry.
• Option d: Wars for resource payments were not the main method; colonial exploitation and control of colonies' resources were more significant.

Answer:

c. Colonies in India and the Americas.
