The correct answer is B.
International standards and audits for civil aviation security are primarily governed by a specialized agency of the United Nations.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is the UN specialized agency that codifies the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. ICAO sets international standards and recommended practices for aviation security, contained in Annex 17 to the Chicago Convention. It also conducts the Universal Security Audit Programme (USAP) to monitor compliance of Member States with these standards and security-related provisions. BCAS is a national regulatory body in India. ACI and IATA are industry associations representing airports and airlines, respectively.
