Answer

The answer is c

Explanation
Option a: This option is incorrect. An optional protocol is a supplementary agreement to a treaty, but it does not involve reporting on the number of bodies found due to human rights abuses.
Option b: This option is incorrect. The UN Security Council is responsible for maintaining international peace and security, but it does not have a sub-committee specifically for peacekeeping operations to enforce human rights.
Option c: This option is correct. A human rights treaty body is a committee of independent experts that monitors the implementation of core international human rights treaties by the countries that have ratified them. These bodies review reports submitted by states and provide recommendations on how to improve human rights practices.
Option d: This option is incorrect. There is no human rights treaty that outlines a specific number of bodies needed to define an egregious human rights violation. Human rights treaties focus on the protection and promotion of human rights rather than quantifying violations in such a manner.
