The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The "Iron Courtain" was a political, military, and ideological barrier crated by the Soviet Unioun which divided Europe in two areas. The Soviet Union sought to prevent itself and its European Allies from having any contact with the noncommunists.

This non-physical boundary was created at the end of World War II and was mantained until the end of the Cold War in 1991.
