             var countries = context.COUNTRY.Select(c => new
             {
                 country = new
                 {
                     ID = c.ID,
                     Description = c.DESCRIPTION,
                     CountryPhoneCode = c.COUNTRY_PHONE_CODE,
                     Currency = c.CURRENCY.CURRENCY,
                     Language = context.LANGUAGE.Where(l => l.COUNTRY_ID == c.ID).Select( l => new { lang = l.DESCRIPTION }).Distinct()
                 }
             });

             return countries;
         }

     }

C#

        // GET: /Country/ My controller 

        public ActionResult DisplayCountries()
        {
            DAL library = new DAL();

            var country = library.GetAllCountry();
            ViewBag.countries = country;
            return View("DisplayCountries");
        }

//My View

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "DisplayCountries";
}

Country list

   @{
       var countries = ViewBag.countries;

        foreach (var country in countries)
        {
            @country.country.ID; // property country is not defined. error!
        }
   }

Problem:
How do I display the data sent from controller to View. Do I need to create a separate class to display the data? Is there no other way to do this ? What are the alternatives if I dont want to use ViewBag ?

Alternative for viewbag is send the countries object as a model to view and add strogly typed view.
and the code will be ,

C#

//Controller
 public ActionResult DisplayCountries()
        {
            DAL library = new DAL();
 
            var country = library.GetAllCountry();           
            return View("DisplayCountries",country);
        }

//View
@model Demo.Counties

<ul>
@foreach(var country in Model.Countries)
{
 <li>country.Description</li>
}
</ul>
