CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The first summit met at Belgrade in 1961.
Bandung, in 1955, was the Asian-African Conference that prepared the ground, but it was not itself a Non-Aligned summit.
Cairo and Havana hosted later summits, which is why they are offered here.
Worth noting
Bandung is the distractor that catches most people, because it comes earlier and is genuinely part of the story. The distinction is between the conference that led to the movement and the movement's own first summit.
