The correct answer is: A. Nepal

The 19th SAARC Summit was planned to be held in Kathmandu, Nepal in November 2016, but it was postponed due to the political crisis in Nepal. The summit was eventually held in Kathmandu in February 2018.

The SAARC is a regional intergovernmental organization that promotes economic, social, cultural, technical, and scientific cooperation among its member states. The organization was founded in 1985 and has eight member states: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan.

The 19th SAARC Summit was originally scheduled to be held on November 19-20, 2016. However, the summit was postponed due to the political crisis in Nepal. The crisis began in October 2015, when the Nepali Constituent Assembly failed to pass a new constitution. The crisis led to widespread protests and violence, and the government was eventually dissolved.

The SAARC summit was eventually held in Kathmandu on February 19-20, 2018. The summit was attended by the leaders of all eight SAARC member states. The summit focused on issues such as economic development, poverty alleviation, and climate change.

The 19th SAARC Summit was a significant event for Nepal and for the SAARC region. The summit was a sign of the resilience of the SAARC and of the commitment of its member states to regional cooperation.
