Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Afro-Asian (Bandung) Conference convened in the city of Bandung in Indonesia in April 1955, where twenty-nine Asian and African states met to condemn colonialism and to promote cooperation and neutrality in the Cold War; the conference is explicitly described as having been held “at Bandung in Indonesia” [1]. This gathering—often called the Bandung Conference or Asian‑African Conference—became the pivotal moment that later led to the formation of the Non‑Aligned Movement, with the Bandung meeting acknowledged as the precursor to NAM and the Belgrade summit of 1961 [2]. Contemporary records and government summaries also record the conference dates and locale as Bandung, Indonesia, confirming the country as Indonesia [3].
