Which one of the following statements is correct?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The United Nations established the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) in 1999 and had overall responsibility for administering the territory and preparing it for independent statehood, including lawmaking, governance and justice functions; East Timor formally achieved independence under UN supervision on 20 May 2002 [1]. The statement that European colonial rulers “handed over” East Timor to Indonesia in 1975 is incorrect: after Portugal’s withdrawal a brief declaration of independence on 28 November 1975 was followed by an Indonesian invasion on 7 December 1975 and subsequent annexation, not a formal transfer by European powers [2].
