C
Ronald Reagan's “Tear Down This Wall” Speech
D
the reunification of East Germany and West Germany
E
protests during the anniversary of the German Democratic Republic

Explanation

Hungary’s government reforms helped open routes west for East Germans, weakening the barriers that kept them in the East. Protests around the German Democratic Republic’s anniversary added pressure for change, while Ronald Reagan’s “Tear Down This Wall” speech became a prominent call for the wall’s removal. Boris Yeltsin’s election and German reunification came later or were not causes of the wall’s fall.
