In the United Nations Security Council a resolution is adopted if it receives at least nine affirmative votes and no permanent member casts a negative vote (a veto). During a vote, 12 members vote yes, 2 vote no and 1 abstains. Among the 12 yes votes, three are permanent members. One of the remaining permanent members votes no, the other two abstain. Does the resolution pass?

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. No; although there are 12 affirmative votes, a permanent member voted no, exercising a veto, so the resolution fails.
B. No; although a permanent member vetoed, the abstentions reduce the required affirmative votes to eight, so the resolution still fails.
C. Yes; the veto is overridden by the majority of twelve affirmative votes, allowing the resolution to be adopted.
D. Yes; there are more than nine affirmative votes and no permanent member cast a negative vote, so the resolution passes.
