Where are the headquarters of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) located?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Organization of the Islamic Conference/Cooperation’s permanent General Secretariat has been based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Secretariat was established to operate in Jeddah by the First Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers and the OIC has long maintained its secretariat there [1]. Official OIC communications also report that the General Secretariat recently moved into a new headquarters complex in the Al‑Rayan district of northeast Jeddah, confirming the city as the organisation’s headquarters [2]. Historical and diplomatic summaries similarly note that the Secretariat has been operating out of Jeddah (with the Secretariat functioning there until the stated liberation of Jerusalem) [3]. Therefore the correct answer is Jeddah.
