Q1. Dr. Kalam supported the nuclearisation of India as he strongly believed that:
A We can combat the forces that threaten to oppress us
B Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us Correct
C Knowledge is the most precious tool
D There is a great deal that most of us can do to increase our freedom
Explanation
Dr. Kalam's support for India's nuclearisation is tied to national self-respect and strategic standing. The statement that India must stand up to the world for others to respect it directly expresses that reason. Combating oppressive forces is related to security, but it is not the exact belief asked here. Knowledge as the most precious tool belongs to Kalam's broader educational message. The idea that individuals can increase their freedom concerns personal responsibility, not the specific case for nuclearisation.
