Which city is the capital of the United Kingdom?

• A. Dublin
• B. Edinburgh
• C. Cardiff
• D. London

Answer: (D)

London serves as the capital city of the United Kingdom. The UK is made up of four countries—England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland—and London is the political and administrative center, hosting Parliament at Westminster, the monarchy, and the main government offices. The other cities are capitals of their respective regions or nations but not of the UK: Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland, Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, and Cardiff is the capital of Wales; Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland. So London is the correct choice.
