Answer
Exam answer
(c) Germany.
Explanation
The five permanent members are the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China — the victorious Allies of the Second World War, each holding the power of VETO. Germany is not among them, and the reason is historical: she was a DEFEATED power in 1945. Her exclusion, along with that of Japan and India, is the main argument today for reforming the Council to reflect the modern world rather than the world of 1945.
In words
Germany.
