Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "supranational" refers to an organization or body that transcends national boundaries and has the power to make decisions that affect its member states. The EU fits this description as it has a central governing body (the European Commission) and institutions (such as the European Court of Justice) that can make decisions that are binding on member states.

Answer: A 
 The term "quasi-national" refers to an organization or body that has some characteristics of a nation-state, such as common laws, institutions, and shared values, but does not have full sovereignty. This term can also be used to describe the EU, as it has its own flag, anthem, and currency, and its member states have agreed to common policies and regulations.

Therefore, both options A and B could be considered valid depending on how one interprets the question or the context in which it is being discussed.
