Correct answer D

Pacta sunt servanda requires parties to perform binding treaties in good faith, while rebus sic stantibus concerns a narrowly qualified fundamental change of circumstances. Condominium describes sovereignty shared by two or more States over the same territory. The possession-based description of uti possidetis in this question uses its classical territorial meaning.
