Solution

The correct option is D Cayman Islands
  • Along with its industrial growth, Britain was also gaining control over many territories and establishing extensive colonies in North America and the Indian subcontinent by the middle of the 18th century.
  • Japan was able to resist European colonisation throughout its history while it went about establishing a strong presence of its own in places like Korea, Taiwan, etc.
  • Thailand was never colonised in its entire history largely as a result of some effective diplomacy and management.
  • The Cayman Islands are presently a British overseas territory.
