SALT-I and II are examples of :

  • A.Disarmament
  • B.Arms Trade
  • C.Armament Proliferation
  • D.Arms Control

Answer: D

SALT-I and II are examples of arms control.

The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks between the USA and the USSR produced SALT-I (1972: the ABM Treaty and an interim agreement freezing missile launchers) and SALT-II (1979, never ratified by the US Senate). They set ceilings on strategic arsenals rather than abolishing them.

That is arms control, which regulates and limits weapons, not disarmament, which reduces or eliminates them. They had nothing to do with arms trade, and they aimed to restrain proliferation of strategic weapons, not to promote it.
