B. NPT
C. CTBT

Answer 1

Hint: Disarmament is a concept that deals with the act of reducing, restricting, or prohibiting the use of weapons. Disarmament commonly indicates a country's military or a specific type of weaponry that has to be bought in check.

Complete answer:
The North Atlantic Deal Association is also called the North Atlantic Alliance. It is an intergovernmental military partnership between 30 European and North American nations and was endorsed on 4 April 1949. NATO establishes an arrangement of collective defence whereby its autonomous part states consent to mutual guard in light of an attack by any external body. The joined military expenditure of all NATO members comprises over $70\%$ of the worldwide total.
Looking at the options:
Option A: SALT is the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks which were two rounds of bilateral conferences and corresponding international treaties. It involved the United States and the Soviet Union on the subject of arms control.
Option B: NPT is the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. It is an international treaty whose main goal is to stop the spread of nuclear weapons.
Option C: CTBT is the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty whose objective was to ban all nuclear tests.
Option D: NATO is the correct answer.
Therefore, option “D” is the correct answer.

Note: The headquarter of NATO is situated in Brussels, Belgium. The latest country that became a part and was added to NATO was North Macedonia on 27 March 2020.
