Explanation
The correct answer is A because the conference led to the creation of the Ottawa Convention, formally known as the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction. This historic treaty was opened for signature in December 1997 in Ottawa, which is the capital city of Canada. The process is often referred to as the Ottawa Process due to Canada's leading role in launching the international movement to ban landmines.
