Solution

The correct option is B Disintegration of Soviet Union
Many western commentators hail the "breakup" of the Soviet Union as a breakthrough to democracy. Their reaction was based mainly on anti-communist ideology and hopeful myths. Communism is a political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production and the natural resources of a society. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 a major communist power was replaced by 15 independent countries most of which adopt democracy as a mode of Governance. The power accumulation was distributed as independent countries emerged on the global scene with the sovereignty to decide for themselves.
