Explanation
The Nordic Council is a regional intergovernmental organization composed of five sovereign nations and three autonomous territories located in Northern Europe. The five member countries are Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The autonomous territories include the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and the Aland Islands.
The United Kingdom is not a member of the Nordic Council. While the United Kingdom shares historical and geographical ties with some Nordic nations, it is a separate entity and does not participate in the formal political cooperation of the council. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
