A region is claimed and governed by a country from another part of the world

• A. Rehabilitation
• B. Amendment
• C. Colonialism
• D. Reintegration

Answer: (C)

Colonialism is when a country asserts control over distant lands by claiming sovereignty and governing them as colonies. This means the powerful country rules the region from afar, often imposing its laws, administration, language, and economic system, and typically exploiting resources and people there. The scenario described—one country from another part of the world claiming and governing a region—fits this idea precisely because it shows political control and governance imposed by a distant state.

Rehabilitation, amendment, and reintegration don’t capture this pattern. Rehabilitation is about restoring health or functionality, amendment is a change or addition to a law or constitution, and reintegration refers to bringing individuals back into society after displacement or conflict.
