D
Correct answer
Explanation
Statement 1 is wrong: Greenpeace is a non-governmental environmental organization with offices in over forty countries and with an international coordinating body in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Statement 2 is also wrong as the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is not a fund but an international non-governmental organization working on issues regarding the conservation, research and restoration of the environment, formerly named the World Wildlife Fund, which remains its official name in Canada and the United States. It is the world's largest independent conservation organization. It has nothing to do with Greenpeace.
