A	3
B	34
C	2
D	12

Detailed explanation-2: -The report placed India at the top of the list. 85% of India’s overall imports were from three countries. Russia (46%), France (27%), and the USA (12%) were the top three largest exporters of arms to India during the period.

Detailed explanation-3: -However, India’s defense exports are still not upto the expected lines. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) ranked India at number 23 in the list of major arms exporters for 2015-2019. India still accounts for only 0.17% of global arms exports.
