Solution

The correct option is C 1979
NAM has virtually lost its political relevance, it continues to be an effective forum for seeking economic justice. It could not do anything when two of its own member states, i.e., Iran and Iraq were engaged in a prolonged conflict. Similarly, it could not do much when Afghanistan was invaded by the Soviet Union in 1979 or Iraq was invaded by the US-led coalition forces in 2003.
