Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

All four listed countries have experienced significant civil wars. Angola suffered a prolonged, large-scale civil war (commonly dated 1975–2002) rooted in post‑colonial rivalries and Cold War involvement [1]. Colombia has long faced an internal armed conflict involving guerrilla groups and state forces and is listed among major armed conflicts in modern records [2]. The Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo) has endured repeated internal wars and ongoing violent insurgencies in the east [3], and Congo appears among country lists affected by conflict [4]. Sudan likewise features prominently among major internal conflicts, including long north–south civil wars and later Darfur and other internal conflicts [2]. Hence, all four countries have suffered civil wars.
