Answer 1

Hint:The United Nations is an international body created in 1945 by 51 countries after the Second World War, dedicated to the preservation of international peace and security, the establishment of good ties between nations and the promotion of social change, improved standards of life and human rights.

Complete answer:
"A declaration signed by members of 26 countries, dubbed the "United Nations," was issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The signatories of the declaration agreed to establish a multinational post-war peacekeeping body. In 1945, representatives of 50 countries gathered at the United Nations Conference on International Organization in San Francisco to draw up the Constitution of the United Nations. The Charter was signed by the members of the 50 nations on 26 June 1945. It was later signed by Poland, which was not included at the Meeting, and became one of the original 51 Member States. On 24 October 1945, the United States came into being formally. The United Nations has been working on the frontlines around the world every day for 70 years on the foundations of human rights, peace and stability, and development.

Hence, the correct option is (Option C) i.e. San Francisco where the United Nation Organization charter was signed.

Note:Presently, there are 193 member countries of the United Nations and 2 non-member observer states:- the Holy See and the State of Palestine.
The General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice and the Secretariat of the United Nations are the principal institutions of the UN.
