The correct answer is **b. North Korea, East Pakistan, and West Germany**.
Here's a brief explanation:
- **North Korea** was established in 1948 after the division of Korea.
- **East Pakistan** became a separate nation (now Bangladesh) in 1947, following the partition of British India, but East Pakistan itself existed until 1971.
- **West Germany** (officially the Federal Republic of Germany) was formed in 1949 after WWII, while East Germany (the German Democratic Republic) was established at the same time.
The other options include nations that either existed before WWII or were not established as new nations post-WWII.
