  • A.Arms Race
  • B.Sanctions
  • C.Disarmament
  • D.Arms control

Answer: D

It is called arms control.

Arms control places agreed limits or restrictions on the research, development, production, testing, deployment or numbers of weapons, especially weapons of mass destruction, to make war less likely or less destructive. Examples include the SALT and START agreements and the test ban treaties.

Disarmament goes further, aiming at the reduction or complete elimination of weapons. An arms race is the opposite, a competitive build-up, and sanctions are economic or political penalties on a state. Restriction rather than elimination is what defines arms control.
