Answer 1

Hint: The United Nations (UN) is an international governing organisation committed to the preservation of international peace and security, the establishment of friendly ties between nations, international cooperation and the harmonisation of nations' actions.

Complete step by step answer:
The Official Seal and Emblem of the United Nations, Report of the Secretary-General, 15 October 1946 describes the design of the Emblem of the United Nation as: -
“A map of the world representing an azimuthal equidistant projection centred on the North Pole, inscribed in a wreath consisting of crossed conventionalized branches of the olive tree, The projection of the map extends to 60 degrees south latitude and includes five concentric circles”. The flag was adopted on December 7, 1946. The branches of olive trees are a sign of goodwill, and all the people and countries of the world are depicted on the world map. White and blue are the United Nations' official colours. On the UN flag, the height of the symbol is half the width of the flag itself. The flag of the United Nations can also be flown with other national flags as a garrison flag.
So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: Under the United Nations Convention on the Safety of United Nations and Associated Personnel, the United Nations symbol and flag can be used by UN peacekeeping personnel and equipment as a defensive sign to deter attacks during an armed conflict.
