a. Missile Technology Control Regime

b. Missile Technology Competence Regime

c. Missile Technology Counter Regime

d. None of the above

ANSWER: Missile Technology Control Regime

Explanation:

This U.S. move will be complemented by India’s entry into the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), an exclusive club that restricts trade in sensitive defence technologies.

Announcement of a framework for the U.S.-India Cyber Relationship was hailed by the U.S. official as a unique and first of its kind agreement that the U.S. has reached with any country.
