I think the answer should be E, because testing the weapon faces no criticism from their own country and opposition from other countries shows that they don't want other countries to be self dependent or more powerful than them.

Citizens will/Will not favour the decision of the Govt in this scenario is completely hypothetical. They may in some cases and in some cases, they cannot. A conclusion must be based on the information provided in the Statement. So definitely 1 will not follow. There should be no assumptions about this kind of questions.
And over that, The statement read the nation X faced international opposition for testing. Although at first, I thought the statement II might be true, It doesn't necessarily state that 'Powerful nations' in the statement.
So the answer is 'D'.

It should be B. Because the government made these decisions, not the citizens.

It should be B. Because the action takes by the government.

I think option B is correct because international pressure comes only due to making "given action" as an international events danger for existence of human beings by the powerful nations throughout the world.

I think it should be 'B' because the term " International opposition" is there.

As the question includes international opposition the nations are opposing.
Thus option 2 is correct.
Thus option 2 is correct.

I think option B is correct because 'International opposition is mentioned' and no powerful country wants another country to grow bigger than them unless there is some profit.
