The correct answer is **C. East Germany and West Germany.**
Following World War II, Germany was divided into East Germany (officially the German Democratic Republic, aligned with the Soviet Union) and West Germany (officially the Federal Republic of Germany, aligned with the United States and Western Europe). This division symbolized the broader ideological divide in Europe between capitalism and communism during the Cold War.
