Solution

The correct option is D General Ne Win
In 1962, the Burmese military conducted a coup and overthrew the democratically elected government. Burma came under military rule. The coup was headed by a man called General Ne Win. He nationalised all industries and resources in Myanmar. Burma witnessed gross human rights violations under the military regime, and citizens rose in protest against the junta rule. After a series of events, including public protests, economic sanctions, international pressure, and the activism of Aung San Suu Kyi, junta rule was dissolved.
