Complete answer:
After the 1st World War there were many losses and the peace was no near, the scholars decided to have an organization to maintain international peace and communal harmony. In 1914 , the League of Nations was formed.Now let's see the options:-

League of Nations - It was formed in 1914 to prevent the repetition of the 1st World War and to maintain friendly relations with the other countries and to maintain international peace. therefore it's the correct option.

United Nations- League of Nations was succeeded by the United Nations Organizations in 1944 as Leagues of Nations therefore it's the incorrect option.

SAARC- It's an organization of the Subcontinent to maintain regional and communal peace and harmony among themselves and to promote social ,economic and cultural development , therefore it's the incorrect option.

ASEAN- Its an organization of the South Asians Countries to to accelerate the economic growth, social progress and cultural development and partnership in order to strengthen the relations among them, hence its the incorrect option.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)

Note: The League of the Nations was a big failure because it lacked enforceable rights and it did not have its own peacekeeping force. Economic depression, renewed nationalism, weakened successor states, humiliation and discrimination eventually contributed to World War II.
