Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - 2005
The UN General Assembly adopted the United Nations Declaration on Human Cloning in March 2005, calling on states to prohibit all forms of human cloning incompatible with human dignity. It was adopted by resolution 59/280 of 8 March 2005 after a divided vote and is not legally binding, so years such as 2002 or 2003 fall while the negotiations were still under way.
