A present group of nations known as G-8 started first as G-7, Which one among the following was not one of them ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Group of Seven (G7) was formed in 1975 and originally comprised the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Japan [1]. Russia was not an original member; it joined the grouping in the late 1990s (formally admitted in 1997/1998), at which point the forum became the G8. Russia’s participation was later suspended in 2014, reverting the forum back to the G7 [2]. Therefore, of the choices given, Russia was not one of the founding G7 members — Canada, Italy and Japan were all founding members [2].
