{'security council': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'permanent members': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'un': [1, 0, 4, 14], 'years': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'members': [37, 11, 44, 71], 'general assembly': [1, 1, 4, 3]}

The United Nations Security Council is composed of 15 members, with five being permanent members that include China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The remaining 10 are non-permanent members and are elected by the General Assembly for a term of 2 years, which makes Option-2 the correct answer.

Option-1 suggests a term of 1 year, which is incorrect as the non-permanent members serve a term that is more than just a single year.

Option-3 and option-4 also present incorrect durations of 3 and 5 years respectively. Though these numbers would provide the non-permanent UN members with longer terms, it`s crucial to note that the correct period is specifically 2 years as per the UN regulations.
