Explanation
The principle of 'common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities' (CBDR-RC) comes from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit/UNFCCC and governs the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions — all states share the responsibility, but developed countries bear a greater burden given their historical emissions. It is not about WHO vaccination drives (option A), IMF contributions (option B) or UN peacekeeping (option D). Hence option C.
