Explanation
The sentence opens with the subject ‘India has participated actively in multilateral forums’ (Q), followed by the participial phrase ‘relating to disarmament, non-proliferation and’ (R), which must be completed by ‘international security, taking into account its national security interests and priorities’ (P), and closes with ‘in the international security arena’ (S). QRPS yields a coherent sentence with all phrases grammatically linked. No other option arranges the phrases grammatically, so (d) QRPS is correct.
