Answer:

b. International Atomic Energy Agency

Answer 2

Answer:

The UN agency concerned with the safety and peaceful use of nuclear technology is Option B: International Atomic Energy Agency  

Explanation:

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was formed in July’1957. It is an international organization that promotes the idea of using nuclear energy peacefully. It also says that nuclear energy should only be used for military purposes, which includes use of nuclear weapons. This is an autonomous organization that is completely funded by its member states and few other donors.  

The Un committee on Disarmament aims on the reduction or abolition of use of weapons. Thus, Option B is the correct option.
