The General Assembly is the main deliberative organ of the United Nations. It is composed of all 193 Member States of the United Nations. Each Member State has one vote in the General Assembly. Decisions on important questions, such as recommendations on peace and security, admission of new Members to the United Nations, and the election of non-permanent members of the Security Council, require a two-thirds majority of the members present and voting. Decisions on other questions, such as the election of the Secretary-General, require a simple majority of the members present and voting.

The Security Council is responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security. It has 15 members, five of which are permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and 10 of which are elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms. The Security Council has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It can adopt resolutions that are binding on all Member States.

The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. It settles legal disputes between States and gives advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorized United Nations organs and specialized agencies. The Court is composed of 15 judges, elected by the General Assembly and the Security Council for nine-year terms.

The Trusteeship Council was established in 1945 to oversee the administration of trust territories, which were territories that were not self-governing and were placed under the administration of a trusteeship agreement with the United Nations. The Trusteeship Council completed its work in 1994, when the last trust territory, Palau, became independent.

In conclusion, the correct answer is: B. The term of the non-permanent members of the Security Council is for three years.
