Explanation:

The Zionist movement aimed to establish a Jewish homeland, and the Balfour Declaration (1917) expressed British support for the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine. The second option is incorrect as it was not about Palestinian independence from Britain. The third option is incorrect as it was not about a Kurdish state. The fourth option is incorrect as the Balfour Declaration did not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital (and Israel was not established yet at that time).

Answer:

A. It supported the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine
