Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

World peace

Solution :

The correct option is World peace.

Explanation:
The emblem of the United Nations was approved on December 7, 1946. The design features a map of the world representing an azimuthal equidistant projection centered on the North Pole.
Surrounding the map are olive branches, which have historically been a symbol of peace. In ancient Greece, the olive branch (known as kotinos) was used to depict peace, harmony, and victory. Therefore, in the UN emblem, the olive branches symbolize world peace, while the map of the world represents all the people and nations of the world that the organization aims to bring together in peace and security.
