Answer 1

The correct option is D Greenpeace

Greenpeace Movement was initially formed to protest against the test of an underground nuclear weapon developed by America to be detonated in Alaska. The protestors could not stop the bomb, but they spread a more significant wave of awareness. Greenpeace's action mobilised the public opinion about such nuclear tests. Due to this, the US decided to conduct no further test in Alaska.

Its headquarter is in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is presently working in 55 countries.

Greenpeace campaigns for sustainable development. Sustainable development ensures the needs of the present generation without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs. This way, we will preserve our environment not just for ourselves but our future generations as well.
