Correct answer: C
Explanation
ASEAN was founded in August 1967 by the Bangkok Declaration, signed by five states.
Its secretariat is at Jakarta, which is a different city from the one in the declaration's name.
India is not a member; it is a dialogue partner, which is a different relationship.
Worth noting
Bangkok for the founding, Jakarta for the secretariat — the same split as SAARC's Dhaka and Kathmandu, and worth learning as a pattern rather than as four separate facts.
