    The correct answer is D. 2010 was a significant year in Burma because national elections were allowed.

    Explanation:

    After its independence from the United Kingdom in 1948, Burma was governed by a military dictatorship from 1962 to 2011, a period in which only two elections were held. In 1990 the military junta lost the election overwhelmingly to the National League for Democracy. In the face of such events, the government ignored the results. As part of a regime of repression, it arrested opposition leaders. After seventeen years, in 2007 the military junta was affected by massive protests led by Buddhist monks, who were brutally repressed. For the 2010 elections, the National League for Democracy was outlawed and could not participate by not expelling political prisoners from its ranks, as requested by the military junta. Since March 2018, the government is led by President Win Myint and Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi as State Councilor.
