Correct answer: (c) World Bank
Explanation
- A
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
OECD. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development publishes other indicators, not the Ease of Doing Business ranking that India cited in 2016. This letter is not the key.

World Economic Forum
World Economic Forum. WEF publishes the Global Competitiveness Report, a different league table. This letter is not the key.

World Bank

- D
World Trade Organization (WTO)
WTO. The World Trade Organization does not issue the EoDB ranking. This letter is not the key.
Summary. Official key is (c) World Bank. Ease of Doing Business was the Bank’s Doing Business scorecard, not OECD, WEF or WTO. Honour the stored letter (c).
