\nThe correct option is D. Denmark, Russian Federation, and United States of America are members of the ‘Arctic Council’.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Arctic Council is a high-level intergovernmental forum that provides a mechanism to address issues faced by the Arctic governments and the indigenous people of the Arctic. Its member states are the eight countries that have territory within the Arctic Circle.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe eight member states are: Canada, Denmark (representing Greenland and the Faroe Islands), Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russian Federation, Sweden, and the United States (representing Alaska). From the given options, Denmark (via Greenland), Russian Federation, and United States of America are the members. Japan and the United Kingdom are not Arctic countries and are therefore not members, although they hold observer status along with several other non-Arctic states.
