Solution

The correct option is D General Assembly and Security Council
The International Court of Justice consists of 15 judges elected to nine-year terms of office. These judges are elected by the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council, who vote simultaneously but separately. In order to be elected, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of the votes in both bodies.
