The correct answers are: c. When states spend money on weapons and armies, they may be diverting resources from needed social programs d. When states decide to use weapons in conflict, both soldiers and citizens are in danger

Explanation for each option: a. Weapons proliferation is the only way through which states can be profitable - This statement is incorrect. While some states may profit from the arms trade, weapons proliferation is not the only way for states to be profitable. States can generate revenue through various means such as trade, tourism, and natural resources.

b. When weapons are proliferated, nobody has access to them - This statement is incorrect. Proliferation means the spread of weapons, which implies that more entities (states, groups, etc.) have access to them, not fewer.

c. When states spend money on weapons and armies, they may be diverting resources from needed social programs - This statement is correct. High military expenditure can lead to reduced funding for essential social services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure, which can negatively impact a country's development and the well-being of its citizens.

d. When states decide to use weapons in conflict, both soldiers and citizens are in danger - This statement is correct. The use of weapons in conflicts often results in casualties and injuries among both military personnel and civilians, leading to loss of life, displacement, and long-term social and economic consequences.

When solving systems of equations, you can check your answer by: Substituting the values of the variables into the first equation and then simplifying to make sure that you get a true statement. Substituting the values of the variables into the second equation and then simplifying to make sure you get a true statement. Substituting the values of the variables into both equations and then simplifying to make sure that you get two true statements.
