C Correct answer
Explanation

Uruguay celebrates its Independence Day on August 25th, not August 15th. August 15th is India's Independence Day, and this appears to be a混淆 between the two countries. The other statements are accurate: Uruguay is indeed South America's third-smallest country by area (after Suriname and Guyana), it is a democratic republic with a presidential system, and it has one of the highest literacy rates in the continent (around 98-99%).
