B Correct answer
Explanation

The first UN Secretary General was Trygve Lie from Norway (1946-1952). Option B 'Trigyli Norway' is a garbled phonetic attempt at 'Trygve, Norway' - capturing the name and country but misspelled. Boutros Boutros-Ghali (A) was a much later Secretary-General (1992-1996), and Kofi Annan (D) served 1997-2006. Norman Lewis is not a UN Secretary-General. The claimed answer is technically the intended choice but extremely poorly written.

AI explanation

Trygve Lie of Norway was the first Secretary-General of the United Nations, serving from 1946 to 1952. He took on the role in the organization's earliest years, helping establish its operational framework during the Cold War's onset.
