Answer:

B. refusing to trade weapons with South Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Indeed, in South Africa during apartheid (a period of racial segregation fueled by the government), the international community, specifically the United Nations in 1977 drafted a mandatory arms embargo; refusing to trade weapons with South Africa.

Such actions were taken in other to curb the widespread human rights abuses in South Africa at the time
