A. "Third World" (or "Third World countries")
B. "Developing countries" (also often called the "Global South" or more precisely "low- and middle-income countries")
C. The Cold War categories became outdated after the USSR collapsed and the non‑aligned/ally distinction lost relevance. "Third World" also came to be seen as pejorative and imprecise. Newer terms focus on economic status or shared historical/regional issues (development level, colonial history) and allow more accurate, less stigmatizing classifications.
