The European majority in New Zealand have made no efforts to make amends for injustices towards the Maori in the nation’s past, so relations remain strained.

The nation is one of the few colonies that enjoyed peaceful and fair dealings between native peoples and European settlers throughout its history.

Significant progress has been made in recent years between those of Maori and European decent in New Zealand, and relations have improved.

Explanation

D is the best answer: significant progress has been made in Māori–European relations, including efforts to address past injustices and recognize Māori rights and culture.
