The correct answer is "Their Trade Networks Expanded Worldwide".

Besides North America, the British have expanded throughout the World colonizing territories such as the Indian Subcontinent, China and the Middle East. This created a wide network of trade that, even though it had unfair terms to the merchants' in the colonies, made it possible for them to export their goods to many territories overseas.
