Solution

The correct options are
C The decision making power of all the nations in the UN are equal.
D India has Veto power.
Being a permanent member of the UN benefits the countries with the Veto power. This power allows them to turn decisions in their favour against a majority. The decision making power of the remaining nations is less than permanent nations. India is not a permanent nation; hence, it does not have Veto power.
