Show answer

Answer: B. During President Putin's visit to India in October 2018, India and Russia signed the 'Action Plan for Prioritization and Implementation of Cooperation Areas in the Nuclear Field'.

Watch for: The India-US nuclear deal is the best-known, so students pick the USA.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Wrong because India's civil nuclear deal with Japan was signed in 2016, not this action plan.
  • C. Wrong because this plan was not signed with the UK.
  • D. Wrong because the India-US civil nuclear deal dates to 2008, not this plan.
