  2. Colony
  3. Exclave
  4. Special economic zone
Explanation
Answer - A - The Vatican, located within the city of Rome, is an example of an enclave.

Key Takeaway: An enclave is a territory whose geographical boundaries lie entirely within the boundaries of another defined territory. Enclaves may be created for a variety of historical, political or geographical reasons. Usually, living within an enclave can be very inconvenient, as there are often issues over addresses, power, or even water rights. Many exclaves today have an independence movement. Examples of modern enclaves are the Vatican, San Marino, and Lesotho.
