This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Greece

The correct answer is Greece.

Greece has faced a significant sovereign debt crisis since the late 2000s. This crisis stemmed from a combination of factors, including high government spending, unsustainable budget deficits, and a loss of investor confidence. The country's debt-to-GDP ratio became exceptionally high, leading to difficulty servicing its debt obligations. This resulted in significant economic hardship, requiring multiple bailouts from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). While other countries may experience periods of economic strain, Greece's prolonged and severe debt crisis distinguishes it among the options provided.

China, Canada, and Germany, while having their own economic challenges and variations in debt levels, have not faced a debt crisis of comparable severity and duration to that experienced by Greece. Their economic structures and fiscal policies differ significantly, allowing them to better manage their debt burdens.
