Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, or Panchsheel, were first formally enunciated in the 1954 Agreement on Trade and Intercourse between the Tibet region of China and India [t1][t2]. As outlined by Jawaharlal Nehru and Premier Zhou Enlai, these principles are: (1) Mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, (2) Mutual non-aggression, (3) Mutual non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, (4) Equality and mutual benefit, and (5) Peaceful co-existence [c1][c3][t5]. These tenets were designed to provide a framework for international relations based on trust and equality, serving as an alternative to Cold War power politics [t8]. They were later incorporated into the 1955 Bandung Conference declaration and became the foundational principles for the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in 1961 [c2][t3]. Option 2 accurately lists all five specific principles as defined in the original 1954 treaty preamble and subsequent joint statements [t1][t7].
