- A.12
- B.19
- C.25
- D.50
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 19. Representatives of diplomatic missions from nineteen countries joined the outreach interaction, among them Malawi, Sri Lanka, Mozambique, Algeria, the United States of America, Chile, Bhutan, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Russia, Iraq, Morocco, Venezuela, Spain, Poland, Mongolia, Zambia, France and Ghana, and the US Chamber of Commerce attended alongside them. Option D, fifty, is the figure that belongs to the main event: participation from more than fifty countries is expected at India Mining Week in November, which is a larger and later number than the missions at this preparatory meeting. Options A and C, twelve and twenty-five, have no basis in the outreach. The distinction worth remembering is that nineteen missions attended the build-up meeting while more than fifty countries are expected at the Week itself.
