Solution

The correct option is C World Health Organisation
The above mentioned organisation is the World Health Organisation (WHO). Despite mounting evidence on the possibility of human transmission, the WHO's response mirrored that of the Government of China. The organisation's denial led to the worldwide outbreak of Covid-19. The lack of transparency in WHO's functioning has led to the international order demanding reforms in all multilateral institutions. Institutions like the United Nations need to be more representative to reflect the reality of the contemporary world.
