Solution

The correct option is D France, Belgium
After the First World War, Germany had to pay reparations in gold. The gold reserves were running dry, and Germany was failing to pay its dues. So, France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr region to extract the reparations for themselves. Ruhr was the leading industrial area in Rhineland, and it was one of the largest coalfields of the country.
