This question is about the 1970 FIFA World Cup hosting bid. Mexico was chosen to host the 1970 World Cup. Option A states Mexico hosted the 1968 Olympics, which is factually correct - Mexico City hosted the 1968 Summer Olympics. This was a significant factor in Mexico's favor as the infrastructure was already in place. Argentina's bid was indeed rejected, and political instability was one reason. The Olympic infrastructure advantage is the correct rationale here.

Argentina's hosting of the 1978 World Cup was threatened by both infrastructure challenges and severe political instability under the military dictatorship. The country was facing economic turmoil and human rights concerns that led many to question whether it could host the event successfully. Despite having bid for the tournament since 1938, these genuine threats almost caused the tournament to be moved elsewhere.
