Which description best describes Australia’s relation to ICAO?

This question checks understanding of how a country’s status with ICAO is defined. ICAO is the UN specialized agency for international civil aviation, created by the Chicago Convention. A contracting state is a country that has ratified that convention and is an active participant in ICAO, bound by its standards and able to vote and contribute to ICAO decisions. Australia fits this description, so the best answer is that Australia is a contracting state to ICAO. Think of the other possibilities: being the host country would mean ICAO is located in that country; ICAO’s headquarters are in Montreal, Canada, not Australia, so that description doesn’t apply. Being an observer means the country attends meetings without voting rights, which isn’t the case for Australia. Being a non-member would imply not participating in ICAO at all, which is also false for Australia.
