A historian researching the economic history of Latin America from 1900 to the present day would most likely find the two tables useful as a source of information about which of the following?

(A) The successful industrialization of Latin America over the course of the twentieth century (B) The impact of Cold War politics on Latin American economic development (C) The relative effectiveness of import substitution industrialization strategies in Latin America (D) The spread of industrial technologies across Latin America between 1945 and 1980Explanation: The tables show the relative proportion of industry in the total economies of several Latin American states. Eliminate (A) because Latin American states by and large did not successfully industrialize in the twentieth century. Eliminate (B) because the tables do not contain any information related to governments or Cold War politics. Eliminate (D) because the tables do not suggest any sort of spread of industrial technology.
