Explanation
Answer: D -When Germany was divided into West Germany and East Germany after World War II, the Germans constituted a multistate nation. A multistate nation results when a nation (or a unified socio-cultural group) extends beyond the borders of one state. The Koreas are a current multistate nation. A multinational state results when two or more national groups exist within the same formal state (live under the same government). The United Kingdom is a contemporary example of a multinational state (it is a sovereign state that contains the nations of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland).
