Cevap
British Overseas Territories are self-governing entities where the UK government remains responsible for specific international matters like defence and foreign policy.
The correct answer accurately reflects that British Overseas Territories (OTs) are self-governing for internal matters but rely on the United Kingdom for foreign policy and defence. They are not part of the UK itself but maintain a constitutional link through British sovereignty.
