Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

General deterrence is the threat of using military force to prevent an adversary from taking certain actions, while extended deterrence applies to a state's allies rather than the state itself. It involves the use of the state's military capabilities to not only protect itself but also provide a security umbrella to its allies, to deter potential aggression against them. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Options A, B and D are not relevant to the difference between extended deterrence and general deterrence.
