Correction:

B is incorrect: The Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM) was signed in 1972, not 1968. The Anti-ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty in 1972 tried to stop the United States and Soviet Union from using ballistic missiles as a defensive shield to launch a nuclear attack. While it did allow both countries to deploy a very limited number of defensive systems, it stopped them from large-scale production of those systems.

C is incorrect: India has not signed or ratified the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), as it views the treaty as discriminatory.
