The correct answer is (C). Japan is not a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
The United Nations Security Council has five permanent members: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These members have veto power.
In addition to the five permanent members, there are ten non-permanent members elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms. Japan has served multiple terms as a non-permanent member and is a major contributor to the UN, but it is not one of the P5.
