Explanation

The correct answer is C, Georgia. Following the Russo-Georgian War in August 2008, the Georgian Parliament voted unanimously to withdraw from the Commonwealth of Independent States. The formal process was initiated in the latter half of 2008, and Georgia officially ceased to be a member of the organization in August 2009. The decision was a direct response to the military conflict and the subsequent Russian recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states.
