South Korea underwent a period of development and political liberalization known as the "Miracle on the Han River" in the 1960s and 1970s. The country experienced significant economic growth and democratization during this time period, with the government implementing policies aimed at promoting industrialization and export-led growth. These reforms were accompanied by a gradual opening of the political system and the establishment of a multi-party democracy in the 1980s. China did experience significant economic growth during this time, but political liberalization did not occur until much later (in the 1990s and 2000s). North Korea remains one of the world's most repressive regimes and has not experienced significant development or liberalization in recent decades. Saudi Arabia experienced significant economic growth during the 1970s and 1980s, but political liberalization has been slow and limited, with the country remaining an absolute monarchy. Therefore, the best choice is B) South Korea.
