Correct Answer:
B. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
Explanation:
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is the globally recognized authority responsible for establishing standards in the chemical sciences. Its Inter-divisional Committee on Nomenclature and Symbols specifically oversees the formal approval of names for new chemical elements, their corresponding symbols, and standardized units. While organizations like UNESCO or the International Science Council support broader scientific cooperation, IUPAC holds the specific mandate for maintaining consistency in chemical terminology and the periodic table.
