Answer
Exam answer
(c) Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary.
Explanation
The Triple Alliance of 1882 was formed by Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy. Its rival, the Triple Entente of 1907, was formed by France, Russia and England — which is option (b), offered here as the trap. The quickest way to tell them apart: Germany and Austria-Hungary are always in the ALLIANCE, Britain and France always in the ENTENTE. Note the twist that Italy later abandoned the Alliance and fought on the Allied side from 1915.
In words
Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary.
