Which of the following reasons explain why great britain and france ultimately refused to recognize the confederacy?
a. french and particularly british public opinion favored the union over the confederacy.
b. the confederacy's demonstrated military strength led britain and france to believe it could win without outside assistance.
c. egypt's and india's increased cotton output during the war made great britain less dependent upon southern cotton.
d. france abandoned its plan to occupy mexico after lincoln threatened to wage war against it.

Option:  C. Egypt's and India's increased cotton output during the war made Great Britain less dependent upon southern cotton.

Explanation:

Great Britain and France remain neutral on the issues of supporting the Confederate in the South in America. Confederate hoped for the military intervention by the British and France to help for the cause. The blockage of the southern ports did not affect British mills because they shifted their dependency for the supply for cotton towards India and Egypt. France remains on the British side by not interfering to the internal matter of America.
