Hint: The Republic of Vanuatu is a small island nation in the South Pacific. The volcanic archipelago is located 1,750 km (1,090 mi) east of northern Australia, 540 km (340 mi) northeast of New Caledonia, east of New Guinea, southeast of the Solomon West of Fiji are islands.

Complete answer:
Now let us analyze the given options:
Option A) This is not the correct option because Slovakia's capital and largest city are Bratislava. The city's official population is at 430,000, but it is thought to be over 660,000 - roughly 150 percent higher than the official figures.

Option B) This is not the correct option because Tallinn is Estonia's capital, most populous city, and most important city. It is located in the northern region of the country, on the Baltic Sea's Gulf of Finland, and has a population of 437,619 people in 2020.

Option C) This is not the correct option because Albania's capital and largest city is Tirana. It is situated in the country's centre, surrounded by mountains and hills, with Dajti rising to the east and a small valley to the northwest overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

Option D) This is the correct option because the capital of Vanuatu is Port Vila. It's on the island of Efate, which is part of Vanuatu's Shefa Province. The city is also the country's most populated, with a population of 44,040 people, accounting for 18.8% of the country's total population, according to the 2009 census.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: Vanuatu's tropical islands in the South Pacific have been inhabited for 4,000 years, according to legend. Because of its long relationship with the West, the island is largely Christian and Western in its outlook. Local culture, on the other hand, still adheres to a leisurely and laid-back island lifestyle.
