Solution
The correct option is D Ghana
Ghana is a West-African nation. Ghana was known as the Gold Coast due to its massive reserves of gold. The gold attracted many European nations, including Portugal, Holland, and Britain. Ghana also became a centre for cocoa production, as well as a source for the colonial slave trade. Britain went on to colonise Ghana, and ruled for 56 years.
On 6 March 1957, the nation gained independence from Britain. Ghana became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and was led to independence by Kwame Nkrumah.
