• countries involved in the war
• fallen soldiers

Explanation:

The text states that each poppy at the museum represents 1,000 combat deaths in WWI, and poppies were chosen as a symbol of fallen soldiers (due to the poem "In Flanders Fields" describing poppies over soldiers' graves). The options "survivors" and "countries involved" don't match this context, while "fallen soldiers" aligns with the representation of combat deaths and the symbolic meaning of poppies.

Answer:

C. fallen soldiers (assuming the third option is labeled C; if options are unlabeled by text, the bottom option with "fallen soldiers")
