As president of World Trade Organization Pascal Lamy was replaced by

The correct answer is C. Roberto Azevedo, a Brazilian diplomat, succeeded Pascal Lamy as Director-General of the World Trade Organization in September 2013 and served a full term until 2020. Lamy had held the post since 2005, so the succession is a standard static GK fact.

Why the others are wrong:

• Christine Lagarde heads the International Monetary Fund, not the WTO. She is a former French finance minister.
• Jim Yong Kim was President of the World Bank (2012-2019). The option spelling "Jim Young Kim" is a variant of his name, but the institution is the key clue.
• Takehiko Nakao was President of the Asian Development Bank (2013-2020), headquartered in Manila.

Core concept: matching each leader to the multilateral institution they head (IMF, World Bank, WTO, regional development banks). For Mains, the Doha Round stalemate and the Bali and Nairobi packages are the natural links to WTO questions.

Fact update: Azevedo resigned in August 2020, and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala became the first woman and first African Director-General in March 2021.

Trap: candidates pick the most familiar name from the IMF/World Bank cluster. Map each name to its institution rather than relying on a vague sense of "global finance".
