Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

The West African Rice Development Association (WARDA), currently known as the Africa Rice Center, was constituted in 1971 by eleven West African nations in Monrovia, Liberia, with the objective of boosting regional rice yields. Shortly after its founding, WARDA established its inaugural research station in St. Louis, Senegal, focusing exclusively on irrigated rice ecosystems along the Senegal River basin. To achieve broader ecological representation across the subregion, the association transferred its main headquarters to Bouaké, Côte d'Ivoire, in 1986. However, civil unrest in 2002 prompted an emergency shift of administrative operations to Cotonou, Benin. Amid these relocation challenges, WARDA breeders achieved a landmark success in 1994 by developing NERICA (New Rice for Africa), a hybrid strain synthesizing the high productivity of Asian varieties with the stress resistance of indigenous African cultivars.

According to the passage, WARDA transferred its administrative operations to Cotonou, Benin, as a direct result of which event?

  1. A
    The pursuit of broader ecological representation across West Africa
  2. Civil unrest occurring in Côte d'Ivoire in 2002Cevap
  3. C
    The breakthrough development of the NERICA hybrid strain
  4. D
    The signing of the founding charter by eleven member nations
