The correct answer is A. The true statement about Singapore is that it finally became self-governing in 1965.

Explanation:

After the Japanese surrender in World War II, the British regained control of Southeast Asia. But the association of a destroyed infrastructure generating unemployment, the lack of food, the increase in diseases, an escalation of violence and a feeling of disappointment at the inability of the British to protect the city led to the emergence of anti-colonial sentiment and Nationalist desires that did not stop growing in the following years.

In 1955 the prime minister Lin Yew Hock (who took office after the resignation of David Marshall, elected to the position in the first place) managed to negotiate with Great Britain the self-government for Singapore, of which only the control of the defense was left out and foreign affairs. In 1958 the British parliament approved the creation of the state of Singapore, a decision followed by general elections.  The first elections in the state of Singapore (1959) were won by the PAP (People's Action Party), the party that governs Singapore since then.  

Despite the creation of the state of Singapore and the first elections, many politicians argued that the future of Singapore passed through the union with neighboring Malaya, due to the origins that both states had in common. In 1963 Singapore, Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak joined together to form Malaysia. However, the union provoked racial tensions and economic disputes. In 1965 Singapore ceased to be part of Malaysia, with the Republic of Singapore being born.
