Explanation:

NATO was established in 1949 mainly as a military - alliance to oppose the spread of communism in Europe during the Cold - War. The United Nations, founded in 1945, aims to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, and cooperate in solving international economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian problems. It includes both democratic and communist states. Option A is wrong as the UN was created by governments.

D. NATO included only noncommunist states, while the United Nations included both democracies and communist states.
