Answer

Bermuda is an example of a British Overseas Territory.
Bermuda is correctly identified as a British Overseas Territory. These territories are self-governing locations across the globe that maintain a constitutional link with the United Kingdom but are not part of the UK itself.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Distinguish between the different types of territories linked to the UK.
Identify that the two main categories for self-governing territories outside the UK proper are Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories.
This sets the framework for categorizing the specific locations provided in the options.
2
Recall the specific examples for each category as defined in the official handbook.
Crown Dependencies include the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey). British Overseas Territories include locations such as Bermuda, St Helena, and the Falkland Islands.
Comparing the options against the established lists allows for the selection of the correct category.
