A Correct answer
Explanation

State sovereignty also implies that all states are equal as states. As all states are on par with one another, one state cannot interfere with the internal affairs of another state. Essentially, sovereignty demands that one state cannot claim that another state takes any particular internal action. Hence, if the conquest of one country is done by another, the sovereignty of the former gets affected.
