Question

if east and west germany had not reunified, it is most likely that
east germany and west germany would have remained equally strong.
west germany would have grown much stronger than east germany.
east germany and west germany would have grown increasingly weak.
east germany would have grown much stronger than west germany.

Explanation:

West Germany had a capitalist, market - based economy with strong international trade and investment links, while East Germany had a socialist, centrally - planned economy that faced inefficiencies and lack of access to Western markets and technologies. Without reunification, West Germany's market - driven growth and integration with Western economies would likely have outpaced East Germany's centrally - planned development. So West Germany would have grown much stronger than East Germany.

Answer:

B. West Germany would have grown much stronger than East Germany.
