B. Arab Spring

Explanation:

The Arab Spring started in 2010 in Tunisia.

From Tunisia, it spread to the rest of the Arab world by 2011.

Most of the protestors were young people who demanded government changes.

In some countries, the Arab Spring was successful. In Tunisia, the former president  resigned after more than two decades in power, and the country became a democracy. The same happened in Algeria.

In other countries, the Arab Spring only led to minor changes (Bahrain, Jordan), in Egypt, the government was overthrown but replaced by a new regime, and in Libya and Syria, the protests escalated and became civil wars.
