Answer 1

Hint: The United Nations was established on 24 October, 1945. It replaced the League of Nations in 1945 and one of its aims was to prevent another conflict or world war. When it was founded, it had 5- member states. Each of the Member States of the United Nations has one seat in the General Assembly.

Complete answer:
“The United Nations was not created to take humanity to heaven, but to save it from hell.” — Dag Hammarskjold, the UN’s second Secretary-General.
After being the successor of the League of Nations, the United Nations had dual objectives. The first one was to prevent another war or conflict from happening. In case a war broke out, it would aim to reduce the hostilities. The other one included facilitating cooperation among the states and improving the prospects of economic and social development all across the world.
In it’s organ, the General Assembly, there are 5 permanent members who have the power to veto any decision passed by the UNGA as they were the most powerful after World War 2. These countries are - the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China.
The representative head of the UN is Secretary General. The present UN Secretary General is Ban Ki-Moon from South Korea.

The UN has many agencies and organs to resolve different kinds of issues. For example, social and economic issues are dealt with by many agencies such the World Health Organisation (WHO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) etc. Presently, it has 193 member states.
Based on the aforementioned information.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

Note: The UN isn’t an international government. All it’s decisions aren’t taken to be absolute or implemented effectively by respective member states. Prospects of reforms exist in the UN which include its structure and processes, along with deciding the issues that fall under its jurisdiction.
