Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Only two. Of the six countries listed, only Hungary and Romania share a land border with Ukraine.
Ukraine has land borders with seven countries: Russia to the east and north-east, Belarus to the north, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, and Romania and Moldova to the south-west. Bulgaria lies across the Black Sea and is separated from Ukraine by Romania. The Czech Republic is cut off by Slovakia and Poland. Latvia and Lithuania are Baltic states north of Belarus and do not touch Ukraine.
B is wrong because only two of the listed countries, not three, touch Ukraine. C is wrong because Bulgaria and the Czech Republic do not border Ukraine. D is wrong because the two Baltic states, Latvia and Lithuania, are separated from Ukraine by Belarus.
