Correct option is C
The World Trade Organization has its headquarters located in
Geneva, which is a major city in Switzerland. Geneva was chosen because it serves as an important center for
international diplomacy and global institutions. Many international organizations are headquartered in Geneva, making coordination and negotiations easier. Therefore, the headquarters of WTO is located in
Switzerland.
Information booster: The World Trade Organization was established in
