Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is a group of nuclear supplier countries that seek to contribute to non-proliferation through export control guidelines. Statement 1 is correct as the NSG is not a treaty-based organization; participating governments implement the guidelines through their own national legislation and enforcement mechanisms [t1][t3][t7]. Statement 2 is correct because the guidelines aim to ensure that international trade and cooperation in the nuclear field are not hindered unjustly, thereby providing a framework that facilitates peaceful nuclear trade consistent with non-proliferation norms [t1][t2][t4]. Statement 3 is correct based on the current membership of the NSG; South Africa is indeed the only African nation among the 48 participating governments. While the provided snippets discuss membership generally [t3][t4], internal knowledge confirms South Africa's unique status as the sole African member, having joined after voluntarily dismantling its nuclear weapons program.
