  2. B.More than 90
  3. C.More than 130
  4. D.More than 175

Correct answer

C. More than 130

Explanation

The correct answer is more than 130. The summit brought together representatives of over 130 countries, among them more than 40 ministers, along with policymakers, investors, financial institutions and industry leaders. Nine participants were listed as Country Partners, namely Australia, Denmark, the European Union, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom, which opens room for bilateral cooperation and investment across the clean energy value chain. Options A and B understate the participation and match no figure from the summit. Option D overstates it; no such count was announced. A useful way to hold these numbers together is to pair the country count with the ministerial count and the domestic count, that is more than 130 countries, over 40 ministers and 13 states and union territories showcasing their project pipelines and manufacturing strengths.
