Question

The 'Warsaw Pact' was formed as a countermeasure to which organization?

• A. SEATO
• B. NATO
• C. OPEC
• D. United Nations Organisation

Hint:

If the question says “countermeasure,” the answer is almost always NATO for the Warsaw Pact.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Cause–effect linkage.
NATO’s consolidation prompted the Soviet bloc to create the Warsaw Pact (1955) as a counterweight.
Step 2: Eliminate unrelated bodies.
SEATO is Asia–Pacific and U.S.–led but not the specific trigger; OPEC and the UN are not military alliances.
Step 3: Conclude.
\[ \boxed{\text{Warsaw Pact countered NATO (Option B).}} \]
