Born in former French Algeria, what is the country of birth (US Visa Waiver Program)?

A member of my family (who is French citizen) is currently applying for the Visa Waiver Program of the USA. The member is born in a city in the former French Algeria (before the independence).

In the field "Country of Birth", should he therefore select "France" (as the city was located in the former French Algeria) or "Algeria" (the country where the city is now)?
