Which of the following countries are members of the European Union?
- Belarus
- Poland
- Germany
- Switzerland
Select the answer using the code given below:
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Of the four listed countries, only Poland (acceded 2004) and Germany (founding member, 1957) are members of the European Union. Belarus is not an EU member — it is part of the Eurasian Economic Union with Russia and is currently under EU sanctions. Switzerland has consistently chosen to remain outside the EU; it maintains relations through bilateral treaties and EFTA/Schengen membership but is not an EU member state. Hence the correct combination is 2 and 3 only, i.e., option (c).
