The full form of IPCC, a nodal agency in the context of climate change, is

AIntergovernmental Policy on Climate Change

BIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ✓ Correct

CInternational Policy on Climate Change

DInternational Panel on Climate Change

Correct answer: (B) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Explanation

IPCC stands for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations body that assesses climate science.

It was established in 1988 jointly by the WMO and UNEP.

Describing it as a Policy body is wrong, since it assesses evidence rather than framing policy.

Describing it as International rather than Intergovernmental overlooks that member governments make it up.

The combination International Policy likewise misnames both its scope and its function.

Its assessment reports form the scientific basis for global climate negotiations.
