C. the Sykes-Picot Agreement
The 1916 Sykes–Picot Agreement was the secret wartime pact between Britain and France (with Russian assent) that divided the Ottoman Arab provinces into British and French spheres of influence — effectively partitioning Greater Syria. The other choices are unrelated: Mudros (1918) was the Ottoman armistice, Zsitvatorok (1606) was a 17th‑century treaty with the Habsburgs, and the Constantinople Agreement (1915) dealt mainly with control of Constantinople and the Straits.
