Read the following statement: A local province asks the national government to grant it power to control the waterways within its boundaries.

This statement can BEST be described as an example of

annexation
devolution
dissolution
irredentism
secession

I would say the answer is devolution.

Explanation:

Devolution is "the transfer of power from a national government to a regional (or subnational) government. In this case, the national gov't is devolving power to control the waterways within its boundaries to a local gov't. Hope this helps. :)
