The correct options about the reasons for building of empires by European nations are:

A and D

Explanation:

Two ideas had dominated the need for the colonization of the world and building up of empires all around:

- the white man's burden

-the economic principle of the colonizing agenda.

The first happened because the nations were motivated by a belief in their own cultures superiority. So they wanted to give their culture to others.
