Correct Answer:
C. Sweden
Explanation:
Sweden proposed the idea of holding a United Nations conference on human interactions with the environment in 1968. This initiative was formalized in a letter dated May 20, 1968, where the Swedish government suggested a global meeting to address environmental challenges through international cooperation. Following this proposal, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2398 later that year, which led to the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm. This landmark event, often referred to as the Stockholm Conference, was the first major international summit to focus specifically on global environmental issues and resulted in the creation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
