A. The USA and IndiaExplanation
For me the correct answer is the USA and India as they represent the 2 extremes. You MUST include them. You could include all of them, but ask yourself the question about how you are going to organise that. Difficult. One solution is to group countries together. Think of the geography: the UK, France and Germany are all in Europe. Put them together why not.Rate this question:
