need of a mandatory power."

Answer: (A) Enlightenment ideals, such as self-determination,  had spread beyond Europe and the Americas.

Explanation:

Enlightenment ideas such as self-determination started in Europe and then spread to the Americas and led to the overthrow of kingdoms and colonial governments as natives wanted to rule themselves.

This excerpt shows that these ideas had spread beyond their epicentres of Europe and America to other areas which in this case is Syria. The Syrians were partitioning the League of Nations to grant them a right to rule their own selves showing that they subscribed to the enlightenment idea of self-determination.
