B Correct answer
Explanation

Korea was a unified nation for centuries until its division after World War II in 1945, resulting in two separate countries: North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and South Korea (Republic of Korea). Seoul is the capital of South Korea, while Pyongyang serves as the capital of North Korea. This division was solidified by the Korean War (1950-1953) and continues to this day. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kuwait are Central Asian or Middle Eastern countries that were never divided in this manner.
