Question

which best defines counterterrorism?
o an attempt by governments to identify terrorists
the use of political tactics to prevent terrorist attacks
the application of military force to retaliate for terrorist attacks
o an agreement by organizations to limit weapons sales to terrorists

Explanation:

Counterterrorism involves using various means, and political tactics are a key part of preventing terrorist attacks. Identifying terrorists alone (first option) is just one aspect. Military retaliation (third option) is a response after an attack, not prevention. An agreement on weapons sales (fourth option) is too narrow. Political tactics for prevention (second option) encompasses a broader and more comprehensive approach.

Answer:

the use of political tactics to prevent terrorist attacks
