Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

On 3 February 2016 the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (1979) had 189 States parties. It is one of the most widely ratified human rights treaties, though the United States, among a few others, has signed but not ratified it.

The other figures do not match the number of States parties at that date.
