Options
India is the world's largest democracy.
India is the second most populous country.
India has won two battles against Pakistan.
India makes regular contributions to the United Nations.
Solution
India has won two battles against Pakistan.
Explanation:
India's claim to a permanent place on the UN Security Council is not supported by its victories in conflicts with Pakistan. Factors like being the second most populous nation (b), the largest democracy in the world (a), and consistently contributing to the UN (d) all give support to this assertion. Winning wars is inconsistent with the UN's principles and requirements for permanent membership.
