Answer:

C. Newly Independent Countries of the Former USSR

Brief Explanations:

The map shows countries like the Baltic states, Ukraine, and Central - Asian countries that were part of the USSR but became independent after its dissolution. This matches the title "Newly Independent Countries of the Former USSR". Western Europe is incorrect as these are mainly Eastern European and Central Asian countries. "Newly Dependent Russia and Eastern Europe" is wrong as these countries are independent. The USSR was a single entity before these countries became independent, so "The USSR" is also incorrect.
