Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> (A), (B), (C), (D) - Incorrect sequence; places UN establishment last when it occurred first in 1945.

Option 2 -> (B), (A), (C), (D) - Incorrect; apartheid didn't end before the Berlin Wall fell, and UN wasn't established last.

Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) - Incorrect; apartheid ending (1994) didn't precede the Berlin Wall fall (1989), and UN (1945) wasn't established after both events.

Option 4 -> (D), (A), (B), (C) - Correct chronological sequence: UN established (1945) → Berlin Wall fell (1989) → Apartheid ended (1994) → SDGs adopted (2015).


Hence, Option 4: (D), (A), (B), (C) → The United Nations was established in 1945, the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 marking the end of Cold War division, apartheid officially ended in South Africa in 1994 with democratic elections, and the Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by UN Member States in September 2015 → correct
