CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

The Games are open to the member states and territories of the Commonwealth.
That includes territories which are not independent states, so the number of teams exceeds the number of member countries.
It is a smaller and different field from the Olympics, which is why medal counts from the two are not comparable.

Worth noting

The last point is worth carrying. A Commonwealth medal and an Olympic medal are not the same achievement, because the field competing for them is not the same.
