Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under Articles 8 and 10 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, the General Assembly and the Security Council vote separately, and a candidate is elected only on obtaining an absolute majority in both bodies. The answer is therefore "General Assembly and Security Council independently of one another". Neither body elects the judges alone, and the General Assembly does not merely act on a recommendation of the Security Council.
