• D. a-(ii), b-(iii), c-(iv), d-(i)

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the facts:
The terms are all from the chapter on security. We match each with its plain meaning.

Step 2: Match the terms:
(a) Terrorism means political violence, so (a) matches (ii).
(b) Disarmament means giving up certain kinds of weapons, so (b) matches (iv).
(c) Alliance is a coalition of countries, so (c) matches (i).
(d) Security means absence of threats, so (d) matches (iii).

Step 3: Pick the code:
The correct code is a-(ii), b-(iv), c-(i), d-(iii). This is option (A).

Step 4: Why the other options are wrong:
Option (B) calls terrorism an absence of threats, which is wrong.
Option (C) calls an alliance an absence of threats and security a coalition, which is wrong.
Option (D) calls disarmament an absence of threats and an alliance giving up weapons, which is wrong.

Final Answer:
The correct matching is a-(ii), b-(iv), c-(i), d-(iii), so option (A) is right.
