Explanation:

First Question (War in Afghanistan 1979 - 1989)

The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 and fought a war there until 1989, which was ultimately unsuccessful. France, UK, and US did not fight a war in Afghanistan during that period (the US's major war in Afghanistan started post - 9/11).

The war for independence between Angola and Portugal was one of the last colonial independence wars in Africa. The Algerian War of Independence ended in 1962, Ghana gained independence in 1957 (not a war in the same context of a long - drawn - out war for independence at the end of colonial rule as Angola - Portugal), and South Africa's situation was more about apartheid and internal struggles rather than a war for independence from UK colonial rule in the same timeline as Angola - Portugal.

Answer:

B. Soviet Union
