Scenario 17-3. ​

Scenario 17-3.
​
Consider two countries, Kinglandia and Rovinastan, that are engaged in an arms race. Each country must decide whether to build new weapons or to disarm existing weapons. Each country prefers to have more arms than the other because a large arsenal gives it more influence in world affairs. But each country also prefers to live in a world safe from the other country's weapons. The following table shows the possible outcomes for each decision combination. The numbers in each cell represent the country's ranking of the outcome (10 = best outcome, 1 = worst outcome) .
-Refer to Scenario 17-3. If each country only makes a choice of whether to build or disarm one time and Rovinastan chooses to build new weapons, then Kinglandia will

A) disarm to signal its willingness to cooperate.
B) disarm to promote world peace.
C) build new weapons to prevent the loss of influence in world affairs.
D) None of the above are correct.
