A, D and E

The correct answer is Option2 - A, D and E

The following are the correct statements:

A- Neutrality refers principally to a policy of staying out of war.
D- Non-aligned states, including India, were actually involved in wars for various reasons.
E- Non-aligned countries worked to prevent war between others and tried to end wars that had broken out.

Non-alignment is also not neutrality. Neutrality refers principally to a policy of staying out of war (Statement A). States practising neutrality are not required to help end a war. They do not get involved in wars and do not take any position on the appropriateness or morality of a war. Non-aligned states, including India, were actually involved in wars for various reasons (Statement D). They also worked to prevent war between others and tried to end wars that had broken out (Statement E).

Statement B and C are incorrect as:

States practising neutrality are not required to help end a war. (Correct version Statement B)

Non-alignment is also not neutrality. (Correct version of Statement C)
