  4. DAustria

Explanation

The correct answer is Norway. In November 1994, Norway held a national referendum to decide whether to join the European Union. The Norwegian public voted against membership with approximately 52.2 percent voting No and 47.8 percent voting Yes. While the other three options, Austria, Finland, and Sweden, also held referendums in 1994, their citizens voted in favor of joining, and they officially became members of the European Union on January 1, 1995. Norway remains a member of the European Economic Area but is not a member of the EU.
