The East Berliners were afraid of approaching to the Berlin wall because they were afraid of what Stasi would do to the people who tried to come close to the wall or cross it.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Germany was divided between East Germany and West Germany. The United States supported the western part of the country and the eastern part of the country was supported by the Soviet Union. There was a cold war between both the sides. There was a wall built dividing the country into two parts and this wall was known as the Berlin Wall.
The people living in the eastern part of the country were not allowed to come close to the wall. They were warned strictly not to cross the wall and go to the western part of the country. The people who tried to do this were either killed or were imprisoned. So fearing this the other citizens avoided going close to the wall.
