Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation
1. Permanence– This is the major attribute of sovereignty. Sovereignty should exist as long as a state remains independent. Sovereignty is a permanent feature of a state, unlike the government.
2. Absoluteness– Sovereignty is supreme and absolute. It is not subject to any control or interference.
3. Independence– Sovereignty doesn’t allow external interference, therefore, a sovereign state is independent and free from external control.
4. Indivisibility– The sovereignty of a state is indivisible. It remains single and absolute.
5. Unity– “Unity is the spirit of Sovereignty”. A sovereign state should stay united.
6. Comprehensiveness– Every member of the state is subject to the sovereignty of the state. The power of a state is universally applicable.
