Why do governing countries often maintain control of exclaves (like gibraltar and kaliningrad)?
a.
large numbers of citizens live in exclaves.
b.
exclaves do not wish to be independent.
c.
exclaves often are important to the economy or the military.
d.
exclaves are too economically dependent on governing countries.

Exclaves means that a country has access to places which it would not otherwise, such as the Meditteranean Sea in the case of the British, or Southern part of the Baltic Sea in case of Russia. This is a military and economic advantage, as they can use it for military bases and trade posts: the correct answer is C.
