Explanation:

The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) Agreement was a bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Soviet Russia. It aimed to limit the number of nuclear missiles and warheads both countries could possess. Option a is correct as it mentions both the U.S. and Soviet Russia (which is in line with the bilateral nature of SALT). Option b only mentions Soviet Russia, which is incorrect. Options c and d involve other nations, but SALT was between the U.S. and Soviet Russia, not about other nations.
