    Correct answer choice is:

    4) Maintain a favorable balance of trade for Great Britain with its colonies.

    Explanation:

    Mercantilism was generalized in Europe during the 1500s. The method was based on the knowledge that a nation's assets and potential were best assisted by developing exports and getting expensive minerals, such as gold and silver. Mercantilism displaced the earlier, feudal financial policy in Western Europe, heading to one of the first events of political omission and charge over an economy.
