The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: The Baltic states are three countries located on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe. These countries were forcibly annexed by the Soviet Union in 1940 and were among the first Soviet republics to declare independence and break away from the USSR in 1990–1991.

Step 1:
Identifying the geographic and political grouping.
The three Baltic republics historically and geographically grouped together are: 1. Estonia 2. Latvia 3. Lithuania

Step 2:
Eliminating incorrect options.
- Slovenia was a former republic of Yugoslavia (in Southern Europe/Balkans), not part of the Baltic states or USSR.
- Romania is a sovereign South-Eastern European country, not a Soviet Baltic republic. Thus, the trio consisting of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania is Option (A).
