Answer:

The correct answer is C. To gain some form of protection and leverage, many Latin American drug lords corrupt law enforcement officials.

Explanation:

Latin America has historically been the cradle of drug trafficking, due to its strategic position close to the United States, the main consumer of illegal drugs, and its favorable climate for the production of these substances.

Countries like Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Guatemala are just some of the Latin countries that produce illegal drugs on a large scale. There, the producers are true mafia bosses, who use their power to intimidate political bosses and government officials so that they respond to their interests. Many of these government officials, motivated by bribes, end up being functional to the interests of these drug lords, turning a blind eye to the crimes committed, and passing laws that favor them.

A clear example of this type of relationship between drug trafficking and corrupt governments is that of Pablo Escobar, from Colombia, who thanks to his power managed the entire city of Medellin at his will, and even managed to be elected to the Congress of his country.

Edit

Russia, the world's largest country (by total area), comprises much of northern Eurasia, and stretches over a vast expanse of Europe and Northern Asia.[1] Due to its size, Russia displays both monotony and diversity. As with its topography, its climates, vegetation, and soils span vast distances.[2] From north to south the East European Plain is clad sequentially in tundra, coniferous forest (taiga), mixed and broadleaf forests, grassland (steppe), and semi-desert (fringing the Caspian Sea) as the changes in vegetation reflect the changes in climate. Siberia supports a similar sequence but is predominantly taiga. The country contains forty UNESCO biosphere reserves
