Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Pretoria.
The BRICS Foreign Ministers met on 4 June 2018 in Pretoria, South Africa.

Moscow: Russia regularly hosts BRICS-related meetings, but not the June 2018 session.
-
New Delhi: India hosted earlier BRICS meetings, including the 2016 Summit, but it was not the venue for the 2018 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting.
