Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is consistently identified as the second-largest intergovernmental organization in the world, following the United Nations [4]. It currently comprises 57 member states across four continents [1]. Statement 3 is therefore incorrect as it claims the OIC is the largest. Regarding the other options: the OIC's permanent General Secretariat is indeed located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia [4]. Its primary objective is to serve as the collective voice of the Muslim world, aiming to safeguard and protect its interests while promoting international peace and harmony [2]. Furthermore, the OIC maintains consultative and cooperative relations with the United Nations and other international bodies to address conflicts and represent the interests of the global Muslim community.
