d. ottoman territories were allowed to practice different religions, but territories in austria-hungary were required to convert to christianity.

Explanation:

• Option A: Territories of Austria - Hungary were also subject to post - war adjustments and were not unpunished, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: After WWI, the territories of Austria - Hungary (like Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia) formed new states with their own governments, not kept monarchies, so B is wrong.
• Option C: After WWI, Ottoman territories (like in the Middle East) were put under Allied control (mandates), while Austria - Hungary's territories (e.g., Czechoslovakia, Poland) gained the ability to establish their own governments. This matches historical facts.
• Option D: There was no requirement for Austria - Hungary's territories to convert to Christianity, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. Ottoman territories came under the control of Allied powers, but territories in Austria - Hungary gained the ability to establish their own governments.
