The correct answer is C) Scramble for Africa.

The term that describes the competition between European power for colonial territory in Africa is the Scramble of Africa.

During the colonial expansion of the New Imperialism, the Scramble of Africa was the division of the African territory from the European powers in order to occupy and colonize the African tribes. This period was from 1841 to 1914. Historians consider that by 1870, only 10 to 15 percent of the African territories were colonized by Europeans. But the number radically change by 1914 when almost 90 percent of Africa was in hands of European colonizers.
