Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding Nepal's transition to a democratic republic
Nepal officially became a democratic republic in 2008, after the monarchy was abolished. The monarchy, which had ruled Nepal for centuries, was formally ended after a decade-long civil war and the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2006. In 2008, the monarchy was abolished by the first meeting of the newly elected constituent assembly. Nepal thus transitioned into a federal democratic republic.
Step 2: Analyzing the options
- (A) "2004" → This is incorrect. The monarchy was still in power in 2004.
- (B) "2015" → This is incorrect. By 2015, Nepal had already become a democratic republic, and the focus shifted to drafting the new constitution.
- (C) "2008" → This is the correct answer. Nepal became a democratic republic in 2008 after the monarchy was abolished.
- (D) "2010" → This is incorrect. Nepal had already become a republic by 2010.
Step 3: Conclusion
Therefore, the correct year when Nepal became a democratic republic is 2008. Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
