Explanation

The correct answer is B because Dadaab is located in eastern Kenya, near the border with Somalia. Established in the early 1990s, it is one of the largest refugee complexes in the world. It primarily hosts hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing civil war and drought in Somalia. It frequently appears in international news due to humanitarian issues and discussions regarding its potential closure by the Kenyan government.
