What was the aim of the Yalta Conference of the Allied Powers in 1945?
The Yalta Conference, also known as the Crimea Conference and codenamed Argonaut, held February 4–11, 1945, was the World War II meeting of the heads of government of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union.
The aim of the conference was to shape a postwar peace that represented not only a collective security order but also a plan to give self-determination to the liberated peoples of Europe. The meeting was intended mainly to discuss the re-establishment of the nations of war-torn Europe. However, within a few years, with the Cold War dividing the continent, the conference became a subject of intense controversy.

This is what I copied and was going to paste as a reply to the answer choices.
With an Allied victory looking likely, the aim of the Yalta Conference was to decide what to do with Germany once it had been defeated.
It is exactly what you have posted. It is from a more reputable website than Wikipedia.
