Correct answer: C
Explanation
The WTO was established on 1 January 1995.
It came out of the Uruguay Round of negotiations, which ran from 1986 to 1994.
The agreement establishing it was signed at Marrakesh in April 1994, but the organisation itself began the following January.
Worth noting
Signature and establishment are months apart here, as they are for the UN Charter, and a question can ask for either. 1948 belongs to the GATT.
