The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) currently has 10 full members: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Brunei Darussalam (1) and Laos (3) are full members. East Timor (2), also known as Timor-Leste, is not yet a full member. While it has been admitted in principle as the 11th member and holds observer status, it has not gained full membership. Therefore, only 1 and 3 are members, making C the correct option.
