The provided data for this question is incomplete: there are no answer options listed, and the answer field already designates 'c. Thailand' as the correct choice. To help a student reason through the question, I will address what typically matters when identifying countries with the largest numbers of tourists annually before the pandemic, and I will note why a option like Thailand would generally not be the top performer.

First, consider the general benchmark for international tourist arrivals right before the pandemic (around 2018–2019). The country with the highest number of international arrivals was France, often approaching or surpassing 85–90 million visitors in a year. This places France at the very top of the list, with several European and other countries following behind it. If we compare, Thailand typically attracted a much smaller share of total international arrivals, generally in the range of roughly 30–40 million visitors in peak years prior to 2020. This places Thailand well below France, Spain, the United States, and many other top destinations.

Option analysis with common context (note: options are not provided in the prompt, so I infer typical possibilities):
- If an option claimed Thailand was the country with the largest number of tourists prior to the pandemic, that would be inconsistent with UNWTO data, which consistently showed France as the top destination and Thailand further down the ranking. The misconception here might come from confusing top beach destinations or regional popularity with overall international arrivals.
- If an option named France appeared, it would align with established data showing France as a perennial leader in international tourist arrivals before 2020.
- If an option named the United States appeared, that would also be plausible as a high-ranking destination, though in most years France and Spain (and sometimes other countries) competed closely for the top spot depending on the year and measurement.
- If an option listed a country with relatively fewer international visitors (e.g., a smaller economy or a country not widely perceived as a tourism hub), that would be incorrect given the scale of international tourism numbers compared to the leaders.

Without the actual list of options, we cannot map each candidate choice to its correctness. However, the overarching point to convey is that Thailand, while a popular international destination, is not typically the single largest receiver of international tourists in the pre-pandemic period; France held that distinction most years, with other major contenders including Spain, the United States, and sometimes China or Italy depending on the year and source.

If you can provide the missing answer_options list, I can map each option precisely to its correctness, explain why the correct one matches established data, and why the others do not.
