Answer:

Option D. In 2012, angry Greek citizens stormed into the streets of Athens to protest against the government's decision of agreeing to a bailout plan that required deep public spending cuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Over the weekend of February 12th, 2012, more than 80.000 Greek citizens took over the streets of Athens and set on fire about 45 buildings as a protest against the Greek Parliament passing a set of austerity measures. These measures were a requisite that the European Union and the International Monetary Fund impose on Greece in exchange of a 170 billion bailout plan to calm the economic and political crises the country was deep into.
