Which of the following countries was the last one to become a member of SAARC?

(A) Sri Lanka
(B) Nepal
(C) Afghanistan
(D) None of these

🧠 Explanation:

Afghanistan was the last country to join SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) in 2007. SAARC is an organization of South Asian nations aimed at promoting economic, cultural, and regional cooperation. The word “member” is a noun indicating a participating country, while “Afghanistan” is a proper noun naming the nation. Alternatives like Pakistan, India, or Bangladesh are founding members, but Afghanistan was the most recent addition. For PPSC exams, it is important to remember Afghanistan as the newest SAARC member, as questions often test knowledge of regional cooperation and international relations in South Asia.
