Berlin was united and made a part of East Germany.

The United States withdrew its forces from West Berlin.
C
The blockade was lifted, and Berlin remained divided.
D
The West built a wall to keep the two parts of the city separate.

Explanation

The Soviet Union ended its blockade of West Berlin in May 1949 after the Western Allies supplied the city by air.
