Reading the passage
The opening of the second paragraph gives us the definition: sovereignty involves authority over territory and the things within it. We don't need to infer a new power from one of the later examples. We need a paraphrase of that defining feature.
Working the answers
- A
“Across territorial boundaries” goes beyond the physical space under a government's control. Cross-border activity is precisely what creates difficulty here.
- B
This substitutes control over communications for the stated control over physical space and objects.
- C
Trademarks are a particular legal topic discussed later, not the defining property given for sovereignty.
- DCorrect
Entities within a designated physical space restates objects located in territory under a government's control.
- E
“All commercial transactions” involving citizens is much broader than the definition. Such transactions could involve activity outside that territory.
