    C. After gaining independence, territory in both former colonies was divided due to religious conflicts

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The British had India as their colony, and Palestine as their mandate. Once the World War II ended though, the British saw that they are not in a financial position to be able to keep their colonies and mandates, so they decided to grant them independence.

The situation in the Indian subcontinent quickly escalated, as well as in Palestine where the Arabs saw the formation of Israel as stealing of their land.
