Recently, a series of uprisings of people referred to as 'Arab Spring' originally started from
A
Egypt
B
Lebanon
C
Syria
D
Tunisia
Correct Answer
Explanation
The Arab Spring originated in Tunisia in December 2010 following the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi, which sparked the "Jasmine Revolution" and led to the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. While Egypt is a tempting option due to the high-profile Tahrir Square protests, its uprising only began in January 2011 as a direct ripple effect of the events in Tunisia. This question tests the core concept of the chronological origins and geographical spread of major 21st-century geopolitical movements.
