The correct answer is - d. control of territory.

Control of territory has always been one of the main factors for waging war. This is due to multiple reasons:

- the bigger the territory, the more resources you have at disposal, thus becoming less dependant on other countries.

- and also we have the status and showing of power, as bigger territory usually means and stronger country.
