In some countries the term NGO is applied to an organization that in another country would be called .............

  • A.Development organisation
  • B.Non-profit organization
  • C.Welfare organization
  • D.Social organization

Answer: B

It would be called a non-profit organization.

'Non-governmental organisation' is the term used in the United Nations system and in most of the developing world. In the United States the same kind of body, a private organisation that pursues a public or social purpose and does not distribute profits, is usually called a non-profit organisation, so the two names often refer to the same thing in different countries.

Development, welfare and social organisations are descriptions of what particular NGOs do, not the general name used in other countries for the whole category.
