Explanation:

The writer, in the passage, establishes greater similarity between colonialism and Nazism than communism and Nazism because “the fashionable attempt (by Lidblad) to equate communism and Nazism is in reality a moral and historical nonsense.” If communism has less to do with Nazism the question actually is what makes colonialism closer to Nazism?
Option 3 may be chosen mistakenly if one is trying to find one of the intimate links between Nazism and colonialism without any reference to communism. Also, note that the options states “imported from colonial regimes”, whereas the text below shows that it was the German colonial regime.
From the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the passage:
“The terms lebensraum and konzentrationslager were both first used by the German colonial regime in south-west Africa (now Namibia), which committed genocide against the Herero and Nama peoples and bequeathed its ideas and personnel directly to the Nazi party.
Around 10 million Congolesedied as a result of Belgian forced labour and mass murder in the early twentieth century; tens of millions perished in avoidable or enforced famines in British-ruled India; up to a million Algerians died in their war for independence, while controversy now rages in France about a new law requiring teachers to put a positive spin on colonial history.”
Option 1 answers the question by covering the gist of the two paragraphs that are relevant to the question:  that both are examples of tyranny …. or ‘racist despotism’.
The other options are not supported by the passage.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
