B Correct answer
Explanation

During British colonial rule, the southeast Asian city now known as Yangon (in Myanmar) was called Rangoon. It was the capital of British Burma from 1852 to 1942. The name changed to Yangon after Myanmar gained independence in 1948. 'Yagoon' and 'Zagoon' are misspellings, and 'Red army' is unrelated.
