Correct Answer:
C. 1974
The United Nations General Assembly granted observer status to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on November 22, 1974, through Resolution 3237. This decision marked a significant step in the international recognition of the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people, allowing its representatives to participate in UN General Assembly sessions and other UN meetings without voting rights.
- Option A, 1967, was the year of the Six-Day War, but observer status came later.
- Option B, 1973, was the year of the Yom Kippur War, preceding the UN resolution.
- Option D, 1981, is incorrect as the status was granted several years earlier.
