CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The International Paralympic Committee governs the Paralympic Games.
It is a separate organisation from the International Olympic Committee, with its own membership and its own governance.
The two work together closely, which is what produces the same-city, same-year arrangement, but neither is part of the other.
Worth noting
Separate bodies working in partnership is the pattern here, and it is the same shape as the relationship between the United Nations and its specialised agencies.
