Answer:

D. Turkey is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Turkey is the correct answer. Ankara is its capital and it was also known as Angora. Galatians and Romans used to call it Ancyra. During classical and Byzantine periods it was known as Ankyra.

During Roman times it was the capital of province of Galatia and when the empire was divided in 284 A.D, it became the capital of Eastern Roman empire.

Today it is the capital of the province of Ankara.
