Correct:
A
Explanation
Bulgaria and Romania formally acceded to the European Union on 1 January 2007, completing the next wave of EU enlargement after the large 2004 expansion. The textbook chronology explicitly records “2007 January: Bulgaria and Romania join the EU,” confirming both countries’ accession in that month [1]. Official EU/ECB documentation likewise states that on 1 January 2007 the Union was enlarged through the accession of Bulgaria and Romania and notes their integration into EU institutions such as the European System of Central Banks [2]. Therefore the correct pair that joined in January 2007 is Bulgaria and Romania.
