The correct answer is (a). The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations. It was established by the United Nations Charter in 1945 to promote international economic and social cooperation and development. ECOSOC is responsible for coordinating the economic and social work of the United Nations and its specialized agencies, and for making recommendations to the General Assembly on matters within its competence.

The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is a functional commission of ECOSOC. It was established in 1946 to promote women’s rights and to ensure the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). The CSW meets annually to discuss issues related to women’s rights and to make recommendations to ECOSOC and the General Assembly.

The other options are incorrect. The General Assembly is the main deliberative organ of the United Nations. It is composed of all member states of the United Nations and meets in regular sessions every year. The United Nations Secretariat is the administrative organ of the United Nations. It is headed by the Secretary-General, who is appointed by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council. The Security Council is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations. It is responsible for maintaining international peace and security.
