Solution

The correct option is B Chicago
It was the first global seminar on religion. The 'Parliament of World's Religions' in 1893 was a remarkable event not just for the number and variety of faiths represented for the first time, at one place. While it was known to be the event in which Swami Vivekananda shined, it also saw theologians from Islam, Bahai, Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Brahmo Samaj and several other faiths come together and lay the foundation for an inter-faith exchange of ideas.
