A
ILO
B
IMF
C
UNCTAD
D
WTO
Correct Answer
Explanation
India enacted the GI Act, 1999 to fulfill its obligations under the TRIPS (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) Agreement, which is a mandatory legal framework administered by the **World Trade Organization (WTO)**. While UNCTAD is a common distractor because it deals with trade and development, it is primarily a forum for policy dialogue and does not enforce binding intellectual property standards like the WTO. The core concept being tested is **Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)** and India’s compliance with international trade treaties.
