The correct answer is "White Man's Burden."
Life Magazine was a famous magazine at the time whose nature was anti-imperialistic. The people writing for the magazine were against imperialism and colonization, which was obvious in their 1899 edition where they mocked this philosophy, calling imperialism a white man's burden.
