"They became League of Nations mandates" is the correct response, but it should be noted that this was a messy transfer, and took some time and in many was was never completed.

James Weber · Answer 2

It depends where exactly you're looking at in time ... the Central Powers' colonies were moved under the League of Nations, but in practicality were divided up among the Allied Powers for them to rule. Eventually, they did become independent nations, but not until 30-50 years after WWI.
