The Balfour Declaration, recently in the news, is associated with which of the following?

The establishment of an independent Arab state in the Arabian Peninsula.

A British promise of self-governance for India after World War I.

The British government’s support for a Jewish national home in Palestine.

A secret agreement between Britain and France to divide Ottoman territories in the Middle East.

The Balfour Declaration, issued on 2nd November, 1917, was a public statement by the British government supporting the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then an Ottoman-controlled region with a small Jewish population.
Named after British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour, this declaration aimed to address Jewish safety concerns due to rising persecution in Europe.
It conflicted with Britain’s earlier commitment in the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence (1915-1916), which had promised support for an independent Arab state in exchange for Arab assistance against the Ottoman Empire.
