Which sentence correctly uses ‘the’ before a country name that has a plural or descriptive structure?

Explanation

While most single-word country names take no article, certain country names with a plural form or a descriptive structure, such as ‘the United States,’ ‘the United Kingdom,’ or ‘the Netherlands,’ conventionally take the definite article ‘the.’ This is an exception to the general rule that country names are used without an article, applying specifically to names built from a plural or ‘of’-based structure.
