The strategy of minimum credible deterrence is reversed by which one of the following ?
Answer: B
It is reversed by first strike.
Credible minimum deterrence, the basis of India's nuclear doctrine of 2003, means keeping the smallest arsenal that can survive an attack and retaliate with unacceptable damage. It is a retaliatory posture, paired with a pledge of no first use and a second-strike capability.
A first-strike posture, aiming to disarm the enemy by attacking first, demands large and highly accurate forces and turns the logic of minimum deterrence on its head. No first use and second strike are parts of the doctrine, and 'no strike' is not a strategy.
