Explanation:

To determine the two countries with the most territory in 1914, we analyze historical colonial and territorial holdings. The United Kingdom had a vast colonial empire (e.g., India, parts of Africa, Australia), and Russia had a large landmass across Eurasia. Portugal had limited colonies, and the United States was less focused on extensive overseas territorial holdings in 1914 compared to the UK and Russia. So the correct pair is United Kingdom and Russia.

Answer:

C. United Kingdom and Russia
