Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The BRIC grouping (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) was formalized in 2006, with its first summit held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in 2009 [3]. Following the second summit in Brasilia in 2010, the member nations agreed to expand the group to include South Africa [4]. South Africa officially joined the mechanism in February 2011, transforming the acronym from BRIC to BRICS. Consequently, the 3rd BRICS Summit, held on April 14, 2011, in Sanya, Hainan Island, China, became the first summit to include South Africa as a full participant [5]. This expansion was intended to increase the group's geographic representation and its influence as a representative of non-Western developing economies [4]. Subsequent summits followed in New Delhi (2012) and Durban (2013) [3].
