Answer:
C. Forcing conquered people obey European laws
Explanation:
Indirect rule was common among colonial masters in their rule over other African colonies . They usually ensured that there was control over the leaders of the colony they took over and then information was relayed to the people. The leaders of the colony were a form of intermediary between the people and the colonial masters which makes it an indirect rule.
Direct rule involves total control and a higher degree of subordination of the people to the colonial masters which explains why forcing conquered people obey European laws is the answer.
