Answer 1

Hint: The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organisation whose mission is to promote international peace and security, foster cordial relations among nations, foster international collaboration, and serve as a focal point for nations' actions to be harmonised. It is the world's largest, most well-known, most powerful, and most representative international organisation.

Complete answer:
A delegate has the option of speaking in any of the UN's official languages. The address is simultaneously interpreted into the UN's other official languages. A delegate may choose to make a statement in non-official language on occasion. The delegation shall give an interpretation or a printed version of the declaration in one of the official languages in such situations. The majority of UN publications are issued in all six official languages, necessitating translation from the original.

The United Nations has six official languages. Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish are among them. The right interpretation and translation of these six languages, in both spoken and written form, is critical to the Organization's work because it allows for clear and succinct communication on global concerns.

Within the UN's meeting rooms and halls, multilingualism allows dialogue between the UN's linguistically and culturally diverse Member States. Multilingualism ensures enhanced engagement of all Member States in the Organization's activities, as well as increased effectiveness, better outcomes, and more involvement, through increasing tolerance.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’ i.e, English, French, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, and Spanish are the official languages of UNO.

Note: The Department of Global Communications has established minimum standards for UN web multilingualism in order to eliminate the "difference between the use of English and the use of the other five official languages," as mandated by the UN General Assembly, and "to ensure the full and equitable treatment of all official languages."
