The correct answer is: C. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations. It is charged with maintaining international peace and security. It has 15 members, of which five are permanent members: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The other 10 members are elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms.<\/p>\n

The five permanent members of the UNSC have veto power, which means that they can block any resolution from being adopted. This gives them a great deal of power in the UNSC.<\/p>\n

The UNSC has been criticized for being too powerful and for being dominated by the five permanent members. Some people have called for the UNSC to be reformed so that it is more representative of the world’s nations.<\/p>\n
