General Knowledge

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), established in 1999, has its headquarters located in Montreal, Canada. This is confirmed by multiple authoritative sources including the official WADA website and the International Olympic Committee. Therefore, the correct answer is C (Montreal), not A (Geneva).

Commonwealth Day is observed annually on the second Monday in March by its member countries. This date varies each year and is not fixed to a specific calendar date like March 24 or May 24. Historically, the day was known as Empire Day and was observed on May 24, Queen Victoria's birthday, but since 1977, Commonwealth Day has been celebrated on the second Monday in March. Therefore, none of the fixed dates given in the options (March 24, April 26, May 24) are correct. The correct answer is 'None of these'.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) is headquartered in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. This is well-documented as the official location of its main offices, making option C correct.

Grozny is the capital city of Chechnya, a federal subject of Russia. The other options are capitals of different countries or regions unrelated to Chechnya.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) was established by the G-7 summit held in London in 1989 to combat money laundering and related threats to the international financial system.

France provides the currency used by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC), which is the Central African CFA franc. This currency is guaranteed by the French Treasury and used by several Central African countries.

The judges of the International Court of Justice are elected by both the Security Council and the General Assembly of the United Nations, each voting independently. This ensures a balanced selection process representing different UN organs.

The Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1974, making option A the correct answer.

The scientific study of the eyes and their diseases is called Ophthalmology. The correct spelling is 'Ophthalmology', which corresponds to option C despite the minor misspelling in the option text.

The World Food Programme (WFP), the main organization addressing global poverty and hunger, is headquartered in Rome, Italy. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), another key UN agency working on food security and hunger, is also based in Rome. None of the options given (Geneva, Moscow, Beijing, Washington) are Rome, but since the question asks for the headquarters of the organization primarily addressing poverty and hunger, the correct factual answer is Rome. Since Rome is not an option, the question options are factually incorrect. However, the original answer 'A' (Geneva) is not correct as Geneva is not the headquarters of WFP or FAO. The correct answer should be that none of the options are correct, but given the options, the question is flawed. The headquarters of the main organization addressing hunger (WFP) is in Rome, Italy.
