Explanation:

The article states the UN General Assembly passed a resolution against capital punishment, urging member states to end planned executions, ban capital punishment permanently, and for abolitionist states to not reintroduce it. No information is given about Amnesty International opposing, remaining neutral, or enforcing the ban. The only consistent option is that the UN passed the resolution, and Amnesty supported it (as the resolution is framed as a bold international step, implying supportive NGOs like Amnesty would back it, while other options have unsupported claims about Amnesty's stance).

Answer:

A. The United Nations passed a resolution against the practice of capital punishment, while Amnesty International supported the U.N. resolution.
