The Correct Answer is Option 1, i.e. West Germany.

• Shortly after West Germany was admitted to NATO, the Warsaw Pact (1955) was signed between Russia and its satellite states.
• The Warsaw Treaty Organization (Warsaw Pact) was a joint treaty of security signed in Warsaw, Poland during the Cold War in May 1955, between the Soviet Union and seven other Central and Eastern European socialist republics of the Eastern Bloc.
