The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution 377 (V) is famously known as the "Uniting for Peace Resolution." This resolution was adopted in November 1950 during the Cold War. It provides a mechanism for the General Assembly to take action if the Security Council fails to do so due to a lack of unanimity among its five permanent members. Under this resolution, if the Security Council is unable to act because of a veto, the General Assembly may consider the matter immediately and recommend collective measures.

This resolution was a response to a particular historical context where it was imperative to have an alternative means through which the UN could act to maintain or restore international peace and security.

Therefore, among the given options:

Resolution for UNCTAD
relates to the establishment of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, which is unrelated to resolution 377 (V).
Ackerman resolution
does not correspond to any known major resolution in the context of the UNGA.
Uniting for Peace Resolution
is the correct identification of resolution 377 (V).
UNITAR resolution
pertains to the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, which is again unrelated.

Hence, the correct answer is "Uniting for Peace Resolution."
