Solution

The correct option is B Non-Alignment
The policy mentioned above is known as Non-Alignment. The movement that led to the adoption of this policy was called the Non-Alignment Movement. The founders of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) were Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Tito of Yugoslavia, Nasser of Egypt, Sukarno of Indonesia, and Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana. Today, the NAM consists of 120 countries, 17 states as observers, and ten organisations. It is now a recognised policy worldwide.
