Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
International organizations play a vital role in global governance, economic coordination, trade regulation, and food security.
Each organization has its primary administrative headquarters located in a designated global city.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us match each international organization in List-I with its headquarters in List-II:
- (A) UNO (United Nations Organization) $\rightarrow$ (III) New York, USA:
The United Nations was established in 1945, and its central headquarters is located in Manhattan, New York City, USA.
- (B) IMF (International Monetary Fund) $\rightarrow$ (IV) Washington DC, USA:
The IMF, established alongside the World Bank at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944, is headquartered in Washington, D.C., USA.
- (C) WTO (World Trade Organization) $\rightarrow$ (II) Geneva, Switzerland:
The WTO, which regulates international trade, was established in 1995 (replacing the GATT) and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
- (D) FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) $\rightarrow$ (I) Rome, Italy:
The FAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger and improve nutrition and food security. It is headquartered in Rome, Italy.
This results in the sequence: (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct matching sequence is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I).
