The answer to the question is: D. Britain and France

The Fashoda incident, also known as the Fashoda Crisis, was a diplomatic dispute between Britain and France over control of the Sudanese region of Fashoda in 1898. The incident arose from the conflicting territorial ambitions of the two colonial powers in Africa. Both Britain and France sought to expand their respective empires and secure control over strategic territories in Africa. The crisis was ultimately resolved through diplomatic negotiations, leading to the signing of the Anglo-French Agreement in 1899, which clarified the spheres of influence of both countries in Africa. The Fashoda incident marked a significant turning point in Anglo-French relations and contributed to the Entente Cordiale, a series of agreements that led to a closer alliance between Britain and France.
