Let's go through the options:a. declare sovereignty in a document, such as the Declaration of Independence-this is a good start, but it is not enough, a number of states that have declared sovereignty, but which were not recognized internationally. b. pass a law requiring other states to recognize the sovereignty of a state cannot pass a law about what others should do: this is a false answer c. to obtain the recognition of the sovereignty of the United Nations-this is the best way to achieve sovereignty in a way that is internationally recognised - this is the best answer. d. merge with another state and form a new state-this is not the correct answer - this state would not be sovereign, then.
