II. Nigeria

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

As of January 1, 2024, the BRICS group (originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) officially expanded its membership. During the 15th BRICS Summit held in Johannesburg in August 2023, invitations were extended to six nations. Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), along with Iran, officially became full-time members on January 1, 2024. Nigeria is currently not a member of BRICS, although it has expressed interest in joining the bloc in the future. Argentina was also invited but declined the invitation following a change in government. Since three countries from the provided list (Ethiopia, Egypt, and UAE) are full members, the correct answer is Three.
