• C. Slobodan Praljak
• D. Alija Izetbegovic

Answer 1

The correct option is B Slobodan Milosevic

Slobodan Milošević is referred to as "X" in the given paragraph. He was a Serb nationalist, politician and administrator, who, as Serbia’s party leader and president (1989–97), pursued Serbian nationalist policies that contributed to the breakup of the socialist Yugoslav federation. Under his regime, hundreds of Albanians were killed in Kosovo, and over 800,000 Albanians were thrown out of their province. Many Serb leaders also believed that the Albanians needed to leave the country. Tensions rose between the two communities, which eventually led to several wars.
