Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Articles 8 and 10 of the ICJ Statute, the General Assembly and the Security Council "shall proceed independently of one another" to elect the members of the Court, and a candidate needs an absolute majority in both. Neither body elects alone, and the Assembly of States Parties elects the judges of the International Criminal Court, not the ICJ.
