Answer:
The correct answer is A) Colonies were granted their independence
Explanation:
Throughout the 20th Century, numerous new nation-states were formed. These were mostly colonies of Western powers, which had been fighting for Independence and self-rule.
One of the oldest examples of a nation-state being formed out of Independence from colonial rule is the United States. The United States were a collection of 13 colonies owned by Great Britain.
Some of the recent examples are that of Pakistan and India who were also granted freedom by Great Britain. Another example is that of Saudi Arabia, which became a nation-state after Ottomans lost control over the region.
