Answer:
A. The divide between Eastern and Western Europe.
Explanation:
The term "Iron Curtain" refers to the imaginary and invisible boundary line that divides Europe based on political, ideological as well as military beliefs. This barrier is not a literal/ physical barrier like the Berlin wall, for it is just a "thought process" barrier of the Soviet Union.
This imaginary barrier was developed to prevent any form of influence from the western side of Europe. Soviet Union tried to prevent any influence from its western counterpart after World War II, preventing any form of contact between the two. This concept of the Iron Curtain was to make sure the Eastern side remains devoted to the Soviet's belief and not become like the western side.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer: D. The US has intervened in Latin American Affairs when US self-interest has been involved
Explanation:
In the 20th century, US policy towards Latin America shifted from the Monroe doctrine that demanded that European powers not attempt to colonize any more Latin American states to a policy that demanded that US interests be protected in Latin America. Under President T. Roosevelt, the US decided that they would expand it's commercial interests into Latin America to enable it to control and protect the continent further as well as to assert it's will.
For instance, when in 1903, Columbia refused to grant US permission to build the Pans Canal, the US reacted by supporting Panamanian rebels through back channels and preventing Columbia from retaking Panama when the latter declared independence. The Panamanian government then responded in gratitude by allowing a canal to be built.
Another instance was the Mexican Revolutions occuring from 1910 to 1920 where the US would support any new Mexican government so long as they abided by US foreign policy.
