Explanation

The correct answer is B because the headquarters of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, formerly known as the Organization of the Islamic Conference, are located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The OIC was established in 1969 following a summit in Rabat, Morocco, and Jeddah was chosen as the permanent location for its General Secretariat. The organization is the second largest intergovernmental body after the United Nations, consisting of 57 member states.
