Solution

The correct option is C European Organisation for Nuclear Research(CERN)
The name CERN is derived from the acronym for the French "Conseil European pour la Recherche Nucleaire", or European Council for Nuclear Research, a provisional body founded in 1952 with the mandate of establishing a world-class fundamental physics research organization in Europe. Today it is also known as the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. The organisation is the world's largest nuclear and particle physics laboratory, where scientists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the Universe using the most sophisticated scientific instruments and advanced computing systems.
