Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
CONCEPT: For event-venue current affairs, first identify the exact event and then use the organizing body's official event record.
CONCEPT: The host country is taken from the city or location stated for that event; it is not inferred from the treaty's subject matter or from participating countries.
APPLICATION: The event was the Eighth Session of the Governing Body of the ITPGRFA. FAO lists this session at Rome, Italy, from 11 to 16 November 2019, and IISD/ENB records the same session in Rome, Italy.
CONTRAST: The other country names do not match the documented venue for this specific session.
Australia is a country distractor, but the event listings for this session do not place the meeting there.
France is associated with many international bodies, but it is not the listed venue for this ITPGRFA session.
Sweden is not tied to the recorded venue for this session in the cited event notices.
Result: Italy was the host country for the 8th session.
