Answer:
A. government has control over a particular territory.
Explanation:
In order to know the answer, it is best to look for <em>context clues</em> in the question.
The word "sovereignty" comes from the root word <em>"sovereign." </em>This word is related to the words: <em>ruler, power, authority, control etc.</em>
Choice A clearly shows the meaning of sovereignty because it emphasizes on the <em>government's authority over a particular territory. It means that it is the supreme ruler.</em>
<em>Choice B</em> doesn't show control because it has given up its authority.
<em>Choice C</em> doesn't show sovereignty because the government doesn't use its natural resources for the betterment of the nation, <u>which is normally being done when one is in control over a territory.</u>
In <em>Choice D</em>, the government is <u>"not in supreme power"</u> because it is divided into two territories.
