D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The League failed to bring about disarmament and also to solve several problems. These failures included: Vilna, 1920, Russo-Polish War 1920-21, Greece vs. Turkey 1920-21, Memel 1923, the occupation of Ruhr 1923, Corfu Incident 1923. The League often failed to carry the self-determination policy out.

Detailed explanation-2: -The international relations of member countries conflicted with the League’s requirements for collective security. The League didn’t have its own armed forces and depended on members to act, but none of the member countries were ready for another war and didn’t want to provide military support.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lack of unanimity among the members of the League hindered its smooth functioning. Italy, Japan and Germany refused to be bound by the orders of the League which left Britain and France to be the only powers in the League. This lack of support by these countries also became responsible for the League’s downfall.
