Answer:

The correct answer is C. West Germany and East Germany should appear in the blank areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

-West Germany was the common name given to the Federal Republic of Germany, which corresponded between 1949 and 1990 to the western part of Germany. The political capital of this state had been installed in Bonn, on the banks of the Rhine, while the West Berlin sector of the former capital of the Reich enjoyed a special political status.

The current Germany resulting from the reunification of 1990 is de jure the result of the absorption of the territories of East Germany by West Germany. It is therefore based on the same constitution as West Germany before 1990, has the same name and has adopted the same emblems.

-East Germany, whose official name was the German Democratic Republic, was a communist country that was a member of the Warsaw Pact. Its capital was East Berlin.

East Germany was created on October 7, 1949 by the United Socialist Party of Germany allied with the USSR from the area occupied by the Red Army. This event took place after the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany by the Western powers.
