The correct answer is A, as both rebellions weakened China's government, making it difficult to resist foreign demands.

In the case of the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), there was no direct involvement of foreign countries (just a number of French and British men took part in the conflict), but there was a discrediting of the Qing Dynasty for allowing an uprising to take place on such a large scale. In a certain way, the support of the foreign powers diminished because of the low confidence they had towards the Qing as a result of the rebellion.

The Boxer Rebellion (1900-1901), on the other hand, directly involved the participation of foreign powers (Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, the USA, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire), since the uprising had as its motto the elimination of foreign influences in the territory Chinese, with the consequent attacks on embassies and foreign citizens.
