Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1937 Paris

The Rochdale Principles, formulated by the Rochdale Pioneers, were officially adopted by the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) in 1937. The acceptance took place at the ICA Congress held in Paris, formalizing these principles for global cooperative practice. These principles laid the foundation for modern cooperatives, focusing on democratic control, limited interest on capital, open membership, and member education.
