Solution
The correct option is C 1957
Ghana succumbed to attacks by its neighbors in the 11th
century, but its name and reputation endured. In 1957, when the leaders of the
former British colony of the Gold Coast sought an appropriate name for their
newly independent state which was the first black African nation to gain its independence
from colonial rule as they named their new country after ancient Ghana. The
choice was more than merely symbolic, because modern Ghana, like its namesake,
was equally famed for its wealth and trade in gold.
