Either B or D could be considered true. I think B is the best answer (I agree with you).

I think it's D because an independent government would be more likely for a country?

To determine which of the options provides the definition of a nation, let's analyze each option one by one.

A. "The highest elected officials in a country": This option refers to the government structure of a country and does not provide a definition of a nation.

B. "The area ruled by an independent government": This option comes closest to defining a nation. A nation can be defined as a group of people who share common culture, language, and history, living within a specific geographical area and governed by a sovereign and independent government.

C. "A country with defined borders and foreign policy enforced by a military": While having defined borders and an enforced foreign policy might be characteristics of a nation, this option does not provide a comprehensive definition.

D. "A people with shared history who live in a specific area under one government": This option also comes close to defining a nation. It emphasizes the shared history and cultural identity of a group of people living under one government within a specific area.

Based on the analysis, the correct answer is B: "The area ruled by an independent government." This option best captures the concept of a nation as a community of individuals living within a defined territory, governed by an independent authority.
