Updated On: Oct 1, 2026
  • (A), (B) and (C) only
  • (A), (B) and (D) only
  • (A), (B), (C) and (D)
  • (B), (C) and (D) only
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Decide what to look for.
Four statements are given and each option is a different mix of them. The key is to find the single false statement, if any, because that cuts down the options fast.

Step 2: Look at the dated claim first.
Statement (D) has a specific place and date. The February 2024 World Social Forum took place in Kathmandu, Nepal. Porto Alegre in Brazil was the home of the first WSFs in the early 2000s. So (D) does not hold.

Step 3: Remove the options that contain (D).
Options 2, 3 and 4 all contain (D). Once (D) is false, all three drop out. Only option 1 is left.

Step 4: Confirm the rest for safety.
The Seattle WTO meeting of 1999 had mass protests, so (B) holds. The WSF stands against neo-liberal globalisation, so (C) holds. Resistance movements work through global networks, so (A) holds.

Step 5: Conclude.
All of (A), (B) and (C) hold, which matches the first printed option.

Step 6: Why the date check matters.
Examiners like to hide one wrong fact in a list of true ones. A place or a year is the easiest thing to change. Here the place was swapped, since the 2024 forum was in Kathmandu and the early forums were in Porto Alegre.

Final Answer:
The only false claim is (D), so the answer is the first option. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]
