Answer: B 
 The Labour Party's refusal to devolve power to Scotland also contributed to the SNP's victory. The SNP campaigned on a promise to increase the powers of the Scottish Parliament and give greater autonomy to Scotland. The failure of the Labour Party to deliver on their promise to devolve power to Scotland led many voters to switch their support to the SNP.

Answer: D 
 The promise by the EU of membership for an independent Scotland did not play a significant role in the SNP's victory in the 2007 Scottish regional elections. While the SNP has long advocated for Scottish independence and EU membership, the issue was not a major factor in the 2007 election.
