Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was opened for signature in 1992. While nearly all UN member states have ratified it, including India, China, and Russia, the United States of America has signed but never ratified the agreement due to domestic political concerns regarding sovereignty and intellectual property rights.
