- A through the 'Hamburg Treaties'
- B through the 'Treaties of Rome' ✓ Correct answer

Tips
- Link key European integration steps to their city names: EEC with Rome (1957), ECSC with Paris (1951), EU formation with Maastricht (1992), and institutional reforms with Lisbon/Amsterdam. Eliminate options that are not commonly associated with EU treaties or sound unfamiliar in EU context. Watch for the specific term “European Economic Community” as a clue pointing to the 1957 milestone.
