Answer 1

Hint:
The Trusteeship Council was established to provide international supervision. These territories were known as The League of Nations Mandates.

Complete step by step solution:
At the end of World War I, the control over territories that had once been part of the German and Ottoman Empires was transferred by the League of Nations to other European countries. These territories were known as The League of Nations Mandates and were renamed United Nations Trust Territories once the UN Charter came into force in late 1945.
Under Article 77 of the Charter, the Trusteeship System was applied to the following-
After the First World War, Territories held under Mandates established by the League of Nations.
 As a result of the Second World War Territories detached from "enemy States".
Territories voluntarily placed under the System done by the States responsible for their administration.

The council gave 11 Trust Territories. They made sure that adequate steps were taken to prepare the Territories for self-government or independence purposes.
The Council made its rules of procedure to drop the obligation to meet annually. They agreed to meet as required or the decision of its President. They even agreed to meet at the request of a majority of its members or the General Assembly or the Security Council.
The Index to Proceedings is an annual bibliographic guide. The guide of the Trusteeship Council to the proceedings and documentation of the Trusteeship Council. The guide was prepared by the Dag Hammarskjöld Library. The full collection of proceedings and documentation is available i.e. Index to Proceedings of the Trusteeship Council.


Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
The Trusteeship Council is authorized to examine and discuss reports on the advancement of the peoples of Trust Territories. In consultation, they can examine petitions and undertake periodic and other special missions to Trust Territories.
