Which concept refers to protecting all members of a group from danger?

• A. Collective Security
• B. Security Council
• C. Collective Defense
• D. Civil Protection

Answer: (A)

Think of collective security as a safety net for a group. The idea is that the security of each member depends on the security of every member, so an attack against one is treated as an attack against all, and the group acts together to deter or stop the threat. That makes it the best fit for protecting all members from danger. The Security Council is a decision‑making body within the UN and isn’t itself the protective mechanism. Collective defense describes a pledge to defend a specific member or set of members during aggression, which is narrower than a system that protects all members. Civil protection focuses on safeguarding civilians in emergencies rather than a collective security arrangement among states.
