Probably C (not 100 percent sure)

A does not make sense because the British promised the Jews their land

B does not make sense because arabs were just living in Palestine and so were the Jews. If the arabs were nationalistic it would have been their state and not Israel's which is unfair

It can't be D because arabs were living in Palestine so why would Arabs force their people to get out of their country Palestine.
