CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

WADA is an independent foundation, funded jointly by the Olympic movement and by governments.
That joint funding is deliberate: an anti-doping body controlled by either side alone would not be credible to the other.
It maintains the World Anti-Doping Code and the prohibited list, which national anti-doping organisations then apply.

Worth noting

The funding arrangement is the substance of this question. Independence here is a structural fact rather than a claim.
