Explanation:

The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine (1947) proposed dividing the territory into Jewish and Arab states. Palestinian Arabs and neighboring Arab nations rejected the plan outright, as they argued it unfairly allocated land and disregarded the majority Arab population's wishes. This rejection led to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War over control of Palestine.

Answer:

B. Palestinian Arabs opposed the plan, leading to a war over the future control over the territory.
