Answer:

The correct answer is option A) Sovereignty

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "sovereignty" refers to a nation's supreme power and authority to enforce its own laws without interference from another nation. The concept contains four aspects that are identified by the territory, population, authority and recognition.

1) Domestic Sovereignty (territory): refers to the state's ability to exercise control over its own area.

2) Interdependence Sovereignty (population): refers to the state's authority to control people's movements across borders.

3) State Sovereignty (authority): it is connected to the "domestic soverignty" but the focus is placed on the fact that no other state can exercise authority over a soverign state.

4) International Legal Sovereignty (recognition): refers to the formal acknowledgement of a state's sovereignty by other sovereign states.
