Which of the following correctly matches a WHO regional office with its headquarters city?
- A Regional Office for South-East Asia: Bangkok
- B Regional Office for South-East Asia: New Delhi ✓
- C Regional Office for the Western Pacific: Manila
- D Regional Office for Africa: Cairo
Correct answer: B. Regional Office for South-East Asia: New Delhi
Explanation
SEARO, covering India and ten neighbouring countries, is headquartered at New Delhi. Manila houses the Western Pacific Regional Office, Brazzaville houses AFRO, and Cairo houses EMRO, so option C is also a true statement about a different region, but only B correctly pairs the South-East Asia office with its city. Bangkok hosts no WHO regional office.
