Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
The question provides four statements about international climate organizations and milestones and asks to identify the pair where both events and their years are correctly matched.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

• Statement A: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). This is correctly matched.

• Statement B: The First World Climate Conference (FWCC) was indeed held in Geneva in 1979. It was one of the first major international meetings on climate change. This is correctly matched.

• Statement C: The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in December 1997 (COP-3) and entered into force in 2005. 1979 is incorrect for this event.

• Statement D: The inaugural meeting of the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate (APP) took place in Sydney in January 2006. 2010 is incorrect for this event.

• By elimination, only the pair of A and B contains statements that are historically and factually accurate.

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correctly matched statements are A and B only.
