D. Maori and English versions of the treaty didn't match
Explanation: The Maori (Te Tiriti) and English texts used different wording and concepts (e.g., "sovereignty" vs. "governorship" / "tino rangatiratanga"), leading to misunderstandings about what was ceded. That mismatch has been central to claims the Treaty was unfair and to ongoing disputes over land, authority, and rights.
