Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Many international and regional organisations are established through treaties, declarations, or charters that define their objectives and structure.

Step 1: Match the European Economic Community (EEC). The: \[ \text{European Economic Community} \] was established through: \[ \text{Treaty of Rome (1957)} \] Thus: \[ A \rightarrow 1 \]

Step 2: Match ASEAN. ASEAN was formed through the: \[ \text{Bangkok Declaration (1967)} \] Thus: \[ B \rightarrow 2 \]

Step 3: Match SAARC. SAARC was established with the: \[ \text{Dhaka Charter} \] Thus: \[ C \rightarrow 3 \]

Step 4: Match Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). The SCO is associated with the: \[ \text{Shanghai Convention} \] Thus: \[ D \rightarrow 4 \] Hence, the correct matching is: \[ A-1,\quad B-2,\quad C-3,\quad D-4 \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{A-1,\; B-2,\; C-3,\; D-4} \]
