Zagreb is the capital and largest city of Croatia, serving as the country's political, economic, and cultural center. While Dubrovnik is a famous Croatian tourist destination and Dalmatia is a historical region, neither is the capital. Zambia is a completely different country in Africa.

N'Djamena is the capital and largest city of Chad, located at the confluence of the Chari and Logone rivers in central Africa. It was originally called Fort-Lamy during the colonial period before being renamed after independence. The other options are smaller towns in Chad but not the capital.

Ankara is the capital of Turkey, located in central Anatolia. While Istanbul is Turkey's largest city and former capital, Ankara became the capital in 1923 after the Turkish War of Independence. Cairo is the capital of Egypt, not Turkey.

Côte d'Ivoire has two capitals: Yamoussoukro is the official political capital designated in 1983, while Abidjan remains the economic capital and houses most government institutions and embassies. This dual-capital arrangement is similar to several other countries, including South Africa and Bolivia.

Abuja became Nigeria's capital in 1991, replacing Lagos in a planned move to create a more centrally located, neutral city. Abuja was built specifically to be the capital and is home to Nigeria's government institutions. The other options are Nigerian cities but not the capital.

Jammu & Kashmir has a unique dual capital system. Jammu serves as the winter capital (October-April) when the legislature meets there, while Srinagar is the summer capital (May-September). This arrangement was made to accommodate the different geographic and climatic conditions of the two regions.

Baku is the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan, located on the Caspian Sea. It has been an important port city for centuries due to its strategic location and oil reserves. Guinea-Bissau, Armenia, and Lesotho are unrelated countries.

Riyadh is the capital, Jeddah is the commercial hub, and Abha is a mountain resort city.

Basel is the correct answer. Novartis International AG, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, has its headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. Basel is a major pharmaceutical hub, hosting headquarters of several multinational drug companies like Roche as well.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands. It's the principal judicial institution of the international community. Rome is where the ICC statute was adopted, and Geneva hosts the ICRC and UN offices, not ICC.
