    1. AAngola and Zambia
    2. BMorocco and Tunisia
    3. CVenezuela and Colombia
    4. DYemen and South Sudan
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    Yemen and South Sudan faced severe humanitarian crises and famine conditions around 2017-2018 due to prolonged armed conflicts. In Yemen, the Saudi-led military intervention against Houthi rebels, coupled with air and naval blockades, severely restricted the import of food and medicine, leading to widespread starvation. In South Sudan, a civil war that began in 2013 between government and opposition forces displaced millions and disrupted agricultural production, resulting in the United Nations formally declaring a famine in parts of the country in early 2017.
