The tearing down of the Berlin Wall signified
A
the end of the space race
B
the election of Mikhail Gorbachev
C
the end of the Cold War
D
the reunification of the USSR
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Berlin Wall would prevent the West from having further influence on the East, stop the flow of migrants out of the communist sector, and ultimately become the most iconic image of the Cold War in Europe. The United States quickly condemned the wall, which divided families and limited freedom of movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -There is a visible divide between how people in Central or Eastern Europe view the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet bloc compared to those in the West. For Western Europeans, the fall of the Berlin Wall symbolises a reunification of Germany and an end to communist regimes in the region.

Detailed explanation-3: -The wall separated East Berlin and West Berlin. It was built in order to prevent people from fleeing East Berlin. In many ways it was the perfect symbol of the “Iron Curtain” that separated the democratic western countries and the communist countries of Eastern Europe throughout the Cold War.
