Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner succeeded her husband, Néstor Kirchner, as president of Argentina. Britannica notes that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner became the first woman elected president of Argentina in 2007 and explicitly states she succeeded her husband, Néstor Kirchner, who had been president from 2003 to 2007 [1]. Contemporary reporting from the BBC also documents the transition and the Kirchner era, describing her swearing-in and the continuity of the political movement associated with the Kirchners in Argentina [2]. Therefore the country in question is Argentina.
