Correct Answer

A. 1961

Explanation

The Berlin Wall was built in 1961. This significant event occurred in response to the increasing number of East Germans fleeing to West Germany, causing a major brain drain and economic loss for East Germany. The wall was constructed to prevent further migration, dividing Berlin into East and West. It stood as a symbol of the Cold War and the division between communist and capitalist ideologies until its fall in 1989.
