This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
The labels First World, Second World, and Third World represent a common, if ethnocentric, way of categorizing nations. First World refers to the democratic West, which is traditionally conceived of as being in opposition to a Second World ruled by
A. folk economic and political models.
B. primitive neoliberalism.
C. Communism.
D. dictators.
E. imperialism.
Answer:
[...] in opposition to a Second World ruled by: Communism. (letter C)
Step-by-step explanation:
The term Second World is not amply heard nowadays. As a matter of fact, it was never as used as its counterparts First World and Third World, which are also being substituted for a less ethnocentric terminology. Second World was used to refer to countries that were under the communist influence by the Soviet Union, back when the Cold War was still going strong. Those countries were more developed than the ones referred to as Third World - parts of Central and South America and Africa, for instance. But they were still less developed than the First World countries.
