• A. Nairobi
• B. Lusaka
• C. Kampala
• D. Dar-e-Salaam

Hint:

Remember East African capitals: Nairobi (Kenya), Kampala (Uganda), Lusaka (Zambia), Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania - commonly asked).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The question asks for the capital of Tanzania. Let's analyze the options provided one by one:

1. Nairobi: Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya, not Tanzania.
2. Lusaka: Lusaka is the capital city of Zambia.
3. Kampala: Kampala is the capital city of Uganda.
4. Dar-e-Salaam: Although Dodoma is the official capital of Tanzania, Dar-e-Salaam is the largest city and served as the capital until 1996. It remains the prominent city for commerce and most government offices.

From this analysis, it is clear that the correct answer is Dar-e-Salaam based on the context of the options provided and confusion regarding its representation as the capital. Although the change to Dodoma was official, Dar-e-Salaam still functions prominently with significant governmental presence.
