The best option for this question is letter C, Haiti became independent from France, but the fighting devastated its economy. Let's understand why:

The Haitian Revolution was the second American nation to get its independence, after the US and the first one nation in history where enslaved people overthrown slavery and established a state ruled by former slaves. The war against France for 13 years let the country in ruins. France was formally removed from the island and the Haitian independence was declared. Most of their plantations, the main economic basis, were destroyed and the international community was very skeptical about an all-black country.

In addition, they also had to pay a ridiculous Independent debt to France as a "compensation" from their lost plantations and slaves. Contributing to the already difficult post-war Haitian economy.
