A)
Sweden
B)
Cyprus
C)
Switzerland
D)
Australia

Correct Answer :   Sweden


Sweden on Tuesday(17th May 2022) signed a formal request to join NATO, a day after the country announced it would seek membership in the 30-member military alliance. Finland’s Parliament has overwhelmingly endorsed a bid from the Nordic country’s government to join NATO.
 
The moves by the two Nordic countries, ending Sweden’s more than 200 years of military nonalignment and Finland’s nonalignment after World War II, have provoked the ire of the Kremlin.
 
In Stockholm, Swedish Foreign Minister "Ann Linde" signed the formal request to join the Alliance, which she said would be sent to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.
