Question

Which of these countries has been added in the ‘BRIC’ (Brazil - Russia - India - China) groupin of emerging economies?

• A. South Korea
• B. Venezuela
• C. South Africa
• D. Malaysia

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The BRIC grouping of emerging economies originally comprised four countries: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. In 2010, the group was expanded to include a fifth member, South Africa, which led to the acronym being updated to BRICS. This inclusion was significant as it represented the African continent in this group of rapidly developing economies. Hence, the correct answer is South Africa.
