Because in 1948 the State of Israel declared independence (May 14, 1948) and immediately after that several neighboring Arab countries invaded — this is the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. That matches answer C: "Arab countries attacked Israel."
Why the other choices are wrong:
- A (Britain took control of Palestine): Britain had been the Mandatory power before 1948; it did not take control in 1948 (in fact it withdrew its mandate that year).
- B (The United Nations made a suggestion): the UN proposed the partition plan in 1947 (Resolution 181), not in 1948.
- D (The Zionists had a desire): Zionist aspirations for a Jewish state existed earlier; the specific event in 1948 was the invasion by Arab states after Israel’s declaration of independence.
