Answer: C only.
Explanation:
A. Britain took control of Palestine — False for 1948. Britain took control earlier under the League of Nations mandate after World War I (1920s); the British mandate ended in 1948.
B. The United Nations made a suggestion — False for 1948. The UN proposed the partition plan (suggestion to divide Palestine) in 1947 (UN General Assembly Resolution 181, Nov 29, 1947).
C. Arab countries attacked Israel — True. After Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948, neighboring Arab states invaded, beginning the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
D. The Zionists had a desire — This is a general statement, not a specific event of 1948. Zionists had long sought a Jewish homeland well before 1948; 1948 is when that goal resulted in the declaration of the State of Israel.
