The right answer is "D)Ghana"

On March 6, 1957, Ghana became the first country on the African continent to achieve independence. This year, the celebration of Independence Day was on the theme "Investing in Youth for the Transformation of Ghana."

Kwame Nkrumah was the great leader of independence and one of the founders of the pan-Africanist movement. He was prime minister between 1957 and 1960 and president of Ghana from 1960 to 1966. After that, he began to work for the decolonization of Africa which had the first conquest of Ghana's freedom.
