Help needed! I looked through my SS book already, but it didn't help. So what makes more sense to me, is the answers, A or D.

1.What was North Korea’s response to President George W. Bush’s 2001 threat to stop negotiations?

A. North Korea immediately gave in
to his list of conditions.

B. North Korea resumed its nuclear
program.

C. North Korea sought the help of
the United Nations.

D. North Korea finally joined the
Non-Proliferation Treaty.

To find the correct answer, we can use a process of elimination based on the information given.

The first option, A, states that North Korea immediately gave in to President George W. Bush's conditions. However, this does not align with historical knowledge about North Korea's response to the threat in 2001. Therefore, we can eliminate option A.

Moving on to option B, it states that North Korea resumed its nuclear program. This is a plausible response considering that North Korea's nuclear program has been a contentious issue in international relations. Therefore, option B remains a potential answer.

Option C states that North Korea sought the help of the United Nations. While North Korea has sought international assistance on various issues, there is no specific information to suggest that they sought the help of the United Nations in response to President George W. Bush's threat in 2001. As a result, we can eliminate option C.

Lastly, option D suggests that North Korea finally joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty. This is highly unlikely, as North Korea has been resistant to joining international agreements related to nuclear disarmament. Therefore, we can eliminate option D.

Based on our process of elimination, the most plausible answer would be B: North Korea resumed its nuclear program.
