    C. A warship fires at the land, even though there is nothing there to shoot is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    Heart of Darkness was written by Joseph Conrad and it is about a trip taken by Charlie Marlow and it narrates, among other things, how colonizers misused resources while taking control over Africa. Most of the times, the colonizers did not want to be effective but to show how powerful they were, even those actions were unnecessary or ineffective. From the options, the most accurate one that shows this ineffectiveness is letter C, so it is the correct answer.

    The detail from Heart of Darkness shows the ineffectiveness of the colonizers is that Workers use dynamite on a cliff they don't need to destroy.

    Explanation:

    "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad is a novel that represents how many decisions during the taking of land in Africa were not the most functional at all, the unnecessary use of dynamite in this example was a way to show how powerful they were and an act of domination through the destruction of the land.
