A Correct answer
Explanation

The ITU specification for 3G mobile standards is IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunications-2000), adopted in 2000. IMT-3000 doesn't exist, and IMT-Advanced refers to 4G standards, not 3G. The '2000' in IMT-2000 refers both to the year of adoption and the target frequency spectrum (2000 MHz band).
