Answer:
D. State
Explanation:
The term state is used to refer to a political entity with specific geographic borders, such as the countries of France, Thailand, Egypt or Australia. The term nation will be used in this lesson to refer to a group of people with a common culture or heritage. The terms nation and state do not refer to the exact same thing. In fact, a nation of people often extend across the borders of a state. For example, the nation of Anishinaabe people spreads across several of the states of America and Canadian provinces.
