Given below are two statements:

Statement I: The Anti ballistic Missile treaty in 1972 tried to stop the United States and the Soviet Union from using ballistic missiles as a defensive shield to launch a nuclear attack

Statement II: The Anti ballistic Missile treaty did not allow the United States and Soviet Union to deploy a very limited number of defensive systems

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

The correct answer is Option (3) - Statement I is true but Statement II is false

The Anti-ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty in 1972 tried to stop the United States and the Soviet Union from using ballistic missiles as a defensive shield to launch a nuclear attack (Statement I).

While it did allow both countries to deploy a very limited number of defensive systems (Correct version of statement II), it stopped them from large-scale production of those systems.
