Solution

The correct option is B France and England
The hundred years war was fought between England and France from 1337 to 1453 over the succession to the French throne. Charles IV of France died in 1328 without a son and Edward III of England staked claim to the throne via maternal link. However, the French did not want a foreign king and Philip VI of France staked his claim. Major battles such as the battle of Crecy 1346, battle of Agincourt 1415 were fought during that period.
