Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Paris Agreement did not withdraw the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) pledged during the 2015 conference; rather, it integrated them into its framework. INDCs are climate pledges made by countries under the UNFCCC to reduce greenhouse gas emissions [1]. Upon ratification of the Paris Agreement, a country's INDC is converted into its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), which serves as the formal commitment for climate action [1]. Regarding the other options, the agreement was adopted in December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016 [3]. By early 2017, the agreement had been signed and ratified by a significant majority of nations, exceeding 190 signatories [1]. Furthermore, both the USA and China, the world's largest emitters, formally joined the agreement in 2016, although the USA later initiated a temporary withdrawal under a subsequent administration before rejoining.
