Correct Answer:

4

Explanation:

Political consequences of the disintegration of the Soviet Union:
End of cold war confrontation
Formation of Commonwealth of Independent States
Power relations in world politics changed
The emergence of a Unipolar world with the USA as the strongest country.

Option (A) ("Global war on terror") is not a direct political consequence of the Soviet Union's disintegration. The "Global war on terror" primarily refers to the post-9/11 era and the U.S.-led efforts to combat terrorism, which is distinct from the disintegration of the USSR.
Option (D) ("Gulf war") is related to a specific event in the Middle East, the Gulf War, which occurred in 1990-1991 following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. While the Gulf War had geopolitical implications, it is not a direct consequence of the Soviet Union's disintegration.
Therefore, options (B), (C), and (E) are the correct choices as they directly relate to the political consequences of the Soviet Union's dissolution.
