Choose the correct answer from the given options:

A, B, D and E

The correct answer is Option 2 - A, B, D and E

The correct statements are:

A) In responding to the threat of war, a government has three basic choices.
B) Governments may choose to surrender when actually confronted by war.
D) Security policy concerned with preventing war, is called deterrence.
E) Security policy concerned with limiting or ending war is called defence.

Correction in the incorrect statement (Governments proudly advertise surrendering as the policy of their country):

C) Governments may choose to surrender when actually confronted by war, but they will not advertise this as the policy of the country.

In responding to the threat of war, a government has three basic choices: to surrender; to prevent the other side from attacking by promising to raise the costs of war to an unacceptable level; and to defend itself when war actually breaks out so as to deny the attacking country its objectives and to turn back or defeat the attacking forces altogether. Governments may choose to surrender when actually confronted by war, but they will not advertise this as the policy of the country. Therefore, security policy is concerned with preventing war, which is called deterrence, and with limiting or ending war, which is called defence.
