The answer is: C

Explanation

The correct option is C: Australia.

In 2010, there were several incidents of violence and robbery against Indian students in Australia, especially in Melbourne and Sydney. Some of these attacks were reported to have racial motives, which sparked protests and media outrage in India and Australia. The Indian government issued a travel advisory for its students in Australia and warned that the relations between the two countries could be strained unless the issue was resolved. The Australian authorities denied that the attacks were racially motivated and said they were crimes of opportunity. The number of Indian students enrolled in Australia dropped by 30% in 2010.
