When Qian Long's (1735-1795) ruled China, many European nations tried to form commercial relations with her, however it was most unsatisfactory. China had become strong enough to resist or to disdain external influence. According to Qian Long, the British merchants were not permitted to move about he Chinese land as they wished, since it would cause conflict between the British visitors and the Chinese residents. The British merchants who were called "foreign devils" by the Chinese people, were in danger of their lives if they were found travelling across this country. Option "A" is the correct answer.
