b. Australia
c. Denmark
d. All of the above

ANSWER: All of the above
 
Following a request by Germany, France, Austria, Denmark and Sweden, the European Union (EU) is set to allow countries to extend border control in the passport-free Schengen area as a result of the migrant crisis and recent terror attacks.
  • The five countries wrote to the European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, saying the border situation remains "extremely volatile" and asked to prolong their right to keep frontier checks.
  • Sources said the Commission was set to approve the measure in line with its so-called "roadmap" for the restoration of the normal functioning of Schengen "by the end of the year".
