1Belarus
2Poland
3Germany
4Switzerland

Select the answer using the code given below :

Options

a

1, 2 and 4

b

1 and 4 only

c

2 and 3

Answer
d

2 and 4 only

Explanation

The correct answer is (c) , meaning Germany (3) and Poland (2) are full member states of the European Union[cite: 3263, 3266]. Statement 1 is incorrect because Belarus is an independent Eastern European nation with no formal membership or candidate status within the EU. Statement 4 is incorrect because Switzerland maintains a policy of political neutrality and has chosen to stay outside the European Union, managing its relations through separate bilateral agreements instead.
