The correct answer is option 3: Afghanistan. In April 2017, the United States dropped the MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), also known as the Mother of All Bombs, in Afghanistan. The decision was made to target suspected hideouts of militants in the country. The MOAB is one of the most powerful non-nuclear bombs in the US military`s arsenal. It is designed to create a massive blast and significant damage to a wide area. The use of the MOAB in Afghanistan was a demonstration of the US military`s strength and determination in combating militant threats in the region. It sent a clear message to the militants and showed the US`s commitment to eliminating their presence. The decision to drop the MOAB in Afghanistan reflects the ongoing conflict and efforts to stabilize the country, which has been plagued by insurgency and terrorism.
