1963
1973
1978
1983

The correct answer is: B. 1973

The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations. It was established by Article 61 of the UN Charter, which states that ECOSOC shall consist of 27 members elected by the General Assembly. The membership of ECOSOC was increased to 54 members in 1973.

The following are the options for the question:

  • A. 1963: This is incorrect because the membership of ECOSOC was still 27 members in 1963.
  • B. 1973: This is the correct answer because the membership of ECOSOC was increased to 54 members in 1973.
  • C. 1978: This is incorrect because the membership of ECOSOC was still 54 members in 1978.
  • D. 1983: This is incorrect because the membership of ECOSOC was still 54 members in 1983.
