The correct option is C Nine years
The ICJ or International Court of Justice comprises of 15 judges, selected by the General Assembly and the Security Council. Each judge has to serve for a tenure of 9 years. The ICJ can help resolve disputes only if the nation approaches the body. The judges interpret international laws and advise different organs of the UN on legal issues.
