India became a founding member of the International Labour Organization when it was set up in 1919, even though it was not then an independent nation. Ramesh, a CS trainee, is asked how India's membership of the ILO is best described.

India has been an ILO member since the organization's inception in 1919, as one of its original members. Membership did not begin with Independence or the Constitution, and it does not depend on ratifying any Convention.

  1. AIndia joined the ILO only after Independence in 1947
  2. BIndia has been a member since the ILO's inception in 1919Correct
  3. CIndia joined the ILO in 1950 after adopting the Constitution
  4. DIndia became a member only after ratifying its first Convention

Explanation

India was among the original members of the ILO when it was established in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles, and it continues as a member. Independence in 1947 and the Constitution in 1950 did not create membership; they are wrong dates for joining.
