The correct option is D. Yemen and South Sudan have been severely affected by widespread famine, acute malnutrition, and deaths caused directly by ongoing wars and ethnic conflicts in recent years (relative to the typical timeframe for UPSC questions).

Identifying major humanitarian crises linked directly to conflict requires knowledge of recent global events and reports from international organizations.

As of the late 2010s and early 2020s, the civil war in Yemen and the conflict in South Sudan have caused devastating humanitarian crises, including widespread food insecurity, malnutrition, and famine-like conditions for millions of people. These crises are direct consequences of the conflicts disrupting agriculture, aid delivery, and infrastructure, leading to mass displacement and starvation. The other pairs of countries listed did not face humanitarian crises of this specific nature and scale, directly caused by war/ethnic conflict, during the same period.
