Answer that is not correct regarding the state of the world after World war II is Option C: British was battered and exhausted and none of its empire existed any longer.

Explanation:

World War II began in 1939 and ended in 1945. It involved majority of the world's countries including the great powers at that time. There were two military alliances known as the 'Allies' and the 'Axis' who opposed each other.

War had huge impacts leaving people hungry and homeless (Option D and Option B, which says thousands of towns and villages had been obliterated in Soviet Union). Unites States became the richest state and became very powerful (Option A) as it had sold weapons to each country and had a powerful army.

British empire was attacked and did get exhausted, but the empire did not come to an end. It lasted till 1997. So, the statement given in Option C is false.
