Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

In the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), a resolution requires the approval of at least 9 out of the 15 council members including the concurring votes of all 5 permanent members (United States, United Kingdom, China, Russia, and France). This means that while 9 votes are necessary, a single veto from any of the 5 permanent members can block the resolution.
