▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: A. I and II only

The 16th BRICS summit was indeed hosted by Russia in Kazan. However, Indonesia is not yet a full member of BRICS, although it has expressed interest. The expansion of BRICS in 2024 welcomed new members, but Indonesia was not among them at that point. The theme for the 16th summit focused on enhancing partnership and cooperation among member states.
