Acountry with a government that deliberately places socialist principles into action is
a. communist, like the european union
b. communist, like china
c. democratic, like cuba
d. democratic, like iraq

It is communist: socialism and communism are very similar: you could say that communism is a more extreme version of socialism.

from the two options A and B only b is correct: the European Union is not a socialist country (nor is it a country: it's an union of countries), and China is.
