Solution
The correct option is D 18 The governing body of the International Labour Office has the same tripartite structure as the Conference. It is composed of 56 members, 28 representing the governments, 14 representing the employers, and 14 representing the workers.
Out of the 28 persons representing the governments, 10 are appointed by the members of 'chief industrial importance' (at present Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, the USA and the UK), and 18 are appointed by the members elected every 3 years by the government delegates to the Conference. This excludes the delegates of 10 members mentioned above. Employers'and workers' members are elected as individuals, and not as national candidates. Hence, A is the correct answer.
