According to the rationale of the first use principle, states reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in self-defence can be stated as :
Answer: B
The keyed answer is nuclear deterrence.
A first-use policy reserves the right to use nuclear weapons first in self-defence, for example against an overwhelming conventional attack. Its rationale is deterrent: the threat that any aggression might be met with nuclear weapons is meant to stop an adversary from attacking at all, as NATO's posture in the Cold War was meant to deter a Soviet attack in Europe.
Mutual assured destruction describes two sides each able to destroy the other after absorbing a first strike. Trident is a submarine-launched missile system, and non-proliferation is about stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.
