Answer 1

Hint: International governmental organisations (IGOs) are organisations that involve members from more than one country's government. The representatives are the states. The United Nations, the Organization of American States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the World Health Organization are all examples of international organisations.

Complete answer:
South Asia's regional intergovernmental body and geopolitical union is the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka are its members.

On December 8, 1985, the SAARC was formed in Dhaka. Its secretariat is located in Nepal's Kathmandu. Economic and regional integration are encouraged by the organization. In 2006, it formed the South Asian Free Trade Region. The SAARC has established connections with multilateral bodies, including the

European Union, and maintains permanent diplomatic contacts at the United Nations as an observer.
Three conferences discussed the idea of South Asian cooperation: the Asian Relations Conference in New Delhi in April 1947, the Baguio Conference in the Philippines in May 1950, and the Colombo Powers Conference in Sri Lanka in April 1954.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note: The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organisation whose mission is to preserve international peace and security, foster friendly ties between nations, promote international cooperation, and serve as a focal point for coordinating national actions. It is the world's largest, most well-known, most widely represented, and most powerful intergovernmental organisation.
The United Nations is headquartered in New York City, on international territory, with primary offices in Geneva, Nairobi, Vienna, and The Hague.
