The correct answer is C) The blockade was lifted, and Berlin remain divided.

After World War II, Germany was split up into four different zones by the Allied Powers. The US, Soviet Union, France, and Great Britain each controlled a piece of Germany. Along with this, the four countries split up control of the capital city (Berlin). At this time, the Soviet Union caused tensions by blocking off East Berlin (controlled by the Soviet Union) from West Berlin (controlled by other 3 Allied Powers). This was ultimately resolved after the Soviet Union lifted the blockade. However, East and West Berlin would continue to be divided for roughly the next 4 decades.
