Based on the passage, why is the G20 considered a representative forum?

Political Science · International Relations UGC NET December 2023 Political Science
Passage
The Group of Twenty, or G20, has of late emerged as a premier forum for international cooperation. Its significance arises from the fact that its members are the world's advanced and emerging economies. The G20 members together represent about 85% of global GDP, 80% of global trade and two-thirds of the world's population. The G20 originated to overcome the financial crisis that occurred in the 1990s in the emerging economies of Asia. The organization is broadly representative and inclusive, as the G20 chair has been made rotational annually and a member from a different regional grouping of countries is elected to its presidency. Since its beginning, India has actively participated in the G20 process and is a major stakeholder interested in the stability of the world economy. India's support during the Seoul summit led to development being included as an agenda item, and the Seoul Development Consensus emerged. India's successful organization of the G20 summit in New Delhi has again ignited hopes for a framework for strong, sustainable and balanced growth and an alternative world order.
Based on the passage, why is the G20 considered a representative forum?
AThe chair is not rotational
BThe chair is rotational and from a different strategic grouping against China
CThe chair is rotational annually and from a different region ✓ Correct
DThe chair's term is limited to three years
Correct answer: (C) The chair is rotational annually and from a different region — The G20 is representative because its chair rotates annually among regions.
Explanation
The G20 is representative because its chair rotates annually among regions.
The passage says the chair is made rotational each year.
A member from a different regional grouping is elected to the presidency.
This spreads leadership across the world's regions.
It makes the forum broadly inclusive of its members.
So the rotating regional chair is what makes it representative.
