Which term describes land that is politically part of a state but lies entirely within another country's borders?

• A. Exclave
• B. Territory
• C. Enclave
• D. Province

Answer: (C)

Enclave describes a piece of land that belongs to one country but is completely surrounded by another country’s territory. This exactly matches the situation in the question: land that is politically part of a state yet lies entirely within another country’s borders. A classic example is Lesotho, a sovereign state surrounded by South Africa. The other terms don’t fit as precisely: an exclave is a part of a state separated from its main territory by foreign land (not necessarily enclosed by a single country); territory is a broad term for land under a state's control, and province is an internal administrative division, not defined by being surrounded by another country.
