The correct answer is letter C

The Munich Agreement was a treaty agreed between the leaders of the main European powers, including Benito Mussolini of Italy, Adolf Hitler of Germany, Neville Chamberlain of the United Kingdom and Édouard Daladier of France, on September 29, 1938.

The signing of the agreement was the conclusion of a conference promoted by Hitler, in Munich, Germany. Involving four major powers, the signing of the treaty had significant consequences.

During the period in question more than three million Germans lived in the Czech part of the state of Czechoslovakia. The main objective of the conference was precisely to discuss and decide the future of the recent country. The conference ended with an agreement between Germany and the other participating nations, agreeing on a policy of appeasement by granting Czech territory to Germany.

The agreement, a betrayal for Czechoslovakia, became known as the "Munich sentence" or "Munich betrayal", which was what the treaty meant for the Czechs. Even though they had alliances with France and the United Kingdom, they were ignored by the two powers when they allowed Nazi Germany to occupy part of Czech territory via the Munich Agreement.
