Correct Option: D
Nigeria antagonised the Western bloc and moved closer to the Easter bloc during the regime of General Murtala Mohammed. He condemned western imperialism which was held responsible for sustaining apartheid in South Africa. Nigeria supported all the liberation movements in Angola which were as follows:

UNITA
The regime concentrated more om MPLA as it was the faction strongly backed by the communist bloc. The support to MPLA led to its victory in the year 1975.
