Answer:

B. Kuwait

Explanation:

    During the Gulf War, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein set fire to 730 of Kuwait's 1,000 oil wells, releasing a huge cloud of soot and toxic gases that killed at least 1,000 people directly. The fire took eight months to control, but the environmental disaster has left its mark to this day.

And more:

• The feeding sanctuaries of over 100,000 seabirds were destroyed. In total, an estimated 25,000 died

• Satellite-based mapping of Kuwait's coast revealed that certain regions were 10 days out of sunlight from soot clouds from the fires, damaging ecosystems on the coast of the country.

• An estimate from the World Health Organization indicates that the total death toll in Kuwait increased by 10% due to respiratory problems caused by the conflict. There were at least 1,000 direct deaths.

• In the Persian Gulf, more than 600 kilometers of beaches were polluted by the oil slick, which at the most critical post-war point reached about 1,500 square kilometers at sea.
