The correct choice is: "Hamas is recognized as a terrorist group by many nations."

Brief explanation:
- Hamas and the PLO are different in origin, ideology and tactics. The PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization), founded in 1964, is a largely secular umbrella organization that long claimed to represent the Palestinian people and ultimately entered peace negotiations with Israel (e.g., the Oslo Accords).
- Hamas, founded in 1987 out of the Muslim Brotherhood, is an Islamist movement that has used armed resistance and terrorism against Israel and is designated a terrorist organization by many countries (including the US, EU, Israel, Canada and others).
- The other statements are incorrect: Hamas does not broadly support peaceful negotiations with Israel (it has opposed recognition historically and used violence); it was not founded by Jewish settlers; and it does not function as a single political bloc together with Arab states.
