Model Answer

Answer: (B)

G-77 was formed to demand a New International Economic Order — giving developing nations real control over their natural resources, more development aid, fairer prices for raw materials, and better market access for their goods.

Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "they organised themselves as a group – the Group of 77 (or G-77) – to demand a new international economic order (NIEO)… real control over their natural resources, more development assistance, fairer prices for raw materials, and better access for their manufactured goods." This matches option B directly. Options A, C, and D are not supported by the passage — G-77 was economic, not military, and did not aim to replace or exclude any institutions or nations.
