IUCN stands for

AInternational Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources ✓ Correct

BIndian Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources

CIntegrated Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources

DNone of the above

Correct answer: (A) International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources

Explanation

IUCN expands to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, a global authority on species status.

An Indian union confines a worldwide body to one country, which is inaccurate.

An integrated union alters the founding name without basis.

Rejecting all the given expansions ignores the correct international one.

The body compiles the Red List assessing extinction risk for plants and animals.

It was founded in 1948 and is headquartered at Gland in Switzerland.
