Answer:

Option b - Zimbabwe attained independence in 1980, from White minority rule.

Explanation:

• The country has been ruled by ZANU-PF, which led the freedom struggle.
• Its leader Robert Mugabe has been ruling the country since independence.
• Elections are held regularly and ZANU-PF always won them.
• In 1980, the country's reconstitution as the Republic of Zimbabwe took place.
• The whites had to adjust to a country with a black majority government as an ethnic minority.
• Even though a good number of whites remained, many whites emigrated in the early-1980s, because of fear for their lives and an uncertain future.  

Hence, Zimbabwe attained independence in 1880, from white minority rule.
