A
an agency of the United Nations to help refugees of civil wars
B
a global Human Rights Movement
Correct Answer
C
a non-governmental voluntary organization to help very poor people
D
an inter-governmental agency to cater to medical emergencies in war-ravaged regions
Explanation
Amnesty International is a global non-governmental organization (NGO) focused on the protection and promotion of human rights, making option (B) the correct choice. Option (a) is a common distractor, but the United Nations agency specifically responsible for refugees is the UNHCR, whereas Amnesty is independent of any government or inter-governmental body. The core concept tested is the identification of the specific mandates and organizational nature of prominent international institutions and NGOs.
