Final answer:
The other group in North Africa and Southwest Asia that shares the status of being 'a nation without a state' like the Kurds are the Palestinians, who also do not have a fully autonomous state.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Kurds have often been described as 'a nation without a state' in North Africa and Southwest Asia. The question asks which other groups in the region share a similar status as the Kurds. The correct answer is A) Palestinians, who, like the Kurds, are a stateless nation with a distinct identity and history but do not possess a fully autonomous state. The Kurds live across Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, with movements for independence and autonomy having been met with resistance. The Palestinians have faced their long struggle for statehood in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is important to note that Iranians, Egyptians, and Saudis already have recognized states - Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, respectively - and hence do not share the status of being a stateless nation.
