Solution

The correct option is D Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
To slow down the arms race, major nuclear powers signed certain treaties in the past like the PTBT, CTBT, and SALT. These treaties were promoted by big superpowers like the US and USSR. They prohibited and prevented countries from carrying out nuclear tests, developing new nuclear weapons, and developing strategic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
