Solution

The correct option is C Commonwealth of Nations
The Commonwealth of Nations, commonly known as the Commonwealth, is an association of 54 nations, founded in 1926. They were all British colonies; some of them were dependent on Britain. These nations share a similar history, so they grouped to promote peace, democracy, and development. The organisation also works towards improving the cooperation between member states.
