Correct answer: B. Only two pairs
Argentina has indeed been facing severe economic challenges and a high inflation rate, leading to its prominent news coverage. Sudan has been embroiled in a devastating conflict between its army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, causing widespread humanitarian crisis and displacement. Turkey has been in the news regarding its stance and actions related to NATO, particularly its ratification of Sweden and Finland's membership, but it has not rescinded its own NATO membership; rather, it is an existing member.
