Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:

• The UN Crime Congresses have been held every five years since 1955.
• They are the world's largest gathering of governments and experts in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice.

Step 1: Recall the location of the First Congress
The very first UN Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders was held in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1955. It resulted in the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners. Thus, A matches with III.

Step 2: Recall the location of the Seventh Congress
The Seventh Congress was held in Milan, Italy, in 1985. It was significant for adopting the Milan Plan of Action. Thus, B matches with I.

Step 3: Recall the location of the Tenth Congress
The Tenth Congress was held in Vienna, Austria, in 2000. It focused on "The Challenge of the 21st Century" and led to the Vienna Declaration. Thus, C matches with II.

Step 4: Recall the location of the Thirteenth Congress
The Thirteenth Congress was held in Doha, Qatar, in 2015. It marked the 60th anniversary of the UN Crime Congresses. Thus, D matches with IV.

Step 5: Final Sequence
Matching the locations: A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV. This corresponds to option (C).
