"Organize" is a verb meaning "to arrange systematically" or "to plan," especially for events like conferences. In "They organized a conference," the grammar is correct: subject + verb (organized) + object (a conference). "Organic," however, is an adjective meaning "natural" or "related to living organisms." Using "They organic" is grammatically incorrect because "organic" cannot function as a verb. Therefore, "organize" is the correct choice in this context.
