Answer:

D) to divide former Ottoman and German territories among Allied Powers

Explanation:

The primary purpose of the Mandate System following World War I was to divide former Ottoman and German territories among Allied Powers. These territories included areas in the Middle East, Africa, and the Pacific. The victorious allies argued that it would help prepare those territories for eventual independence, but independence really only came following World War I and the end of the Mandate System.
