Correct answer: (d) None

Explanation

  1. A

    Only one

    Only one. All three GCM claims fail.

  2. B

    Only two

    Only two. Not every UN member adopted it; it is non-binding; it is about international, not internal, migration.

  3. C

    All three

    All three. Each limb is false.

  4. D

    None

    None. The Compact was not adopted by all UN members, is not legally binding, and does not cover IDPs as a domestic-displacement instrument.

Summary. Official key is (d) none. The Global Compact for Migration (Marrakech, 2018) is a non-binding cooperative framework. Several UN members stayed out. It addresses international migration, not internally displaced people.
