What are the "Three Pillars" of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) ?
Answer: B
The three pillars are Disarmament, Non-Proliferation and Peaceful uses of Nuclear technology.
The NPT is described as a bargain resting on three pillars: non-proliferation, under which non-nuclear-weapon states forgo nuclear weapons (Articles I and II); disarmament, under which all parties undertake to pursue negotiations towards nuclear disarmament (Article VI); and the right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy (Article IV).
Nuclear, chemical and biological weapons are the three kinds of weapons of mass destruction, and bombers, ballistic missiles and submarines are the three legs of the nuclear triad. Neither is the NPT's pillars, so 'All of the above' fails too.
