Answer: B
The modern conception of human rights developed after the Second World War.
The atrocities of the Second World War, above all the Holocaust, led the international community to treat human rights as a matter of international concern. The UN Charter of 1945 made respect for human rights a purpose of the organisation, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights followed in 1948, beginning the modern system of human rights law.
The First World War led to the League of Nations and minority treaties but not to a general human rights framework, the Gulf War came in 1990-91, and 'World War' alone does not identify the event.
