Answer: Korea
Notes: After the Japanese occupation of Korea ended as a result of the defeat of Japan, Korea had been divided into two occupation zones- the northern zone under the Soviet Union and the southern zone under the USA.

The Korean War could also not change this boundary. So, the correct answer is option ‘b’.
