  4. D
    Wales

Answer

Bermuda is the correct example of a British Overseas Territory.
Bermuda is correctly identified as a British Overseas Territory. These territories are constitutionally linked to the UK and manage their own local affairs with their own governments, but they are not part of the United Kingdom itself.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Differentiate between the constituent parts of the United Kingdom and territories linked to it.
The United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Locations outside this group with constitutional links are either Crown Dependencies or Overseas Territories.
This establishes the boundaries for what is 'in' the UK versus what is 'linked' to it.
2
Categorize the specific locations mentioned in the options.
Wales is a constituent country (part of the UK). Jersey and Guernsey are Crown Dependencies. Bermuda is an Overseas Territory.
Correct categorization allows for the identification of the specific entity type requested.

Key Concept

Distinction between British Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies, and the constituent countries of the UK.
