Answer 1

The correct option is C Tearing down of the Berlin Wall.

Under the USSR, Eastern Europe faced serious economic crisis and popular movements started demanding freedom, democracy and economic reforms. This led to the breaking down of the infamous Berlin Wall that separated Eastern and Western Germany. This resulted in the end of Cold War in 1991 with the collapse of the USSR.
