What is the fundamental goal of NATO?

  1. To promote democracy around the world

  2. To safeguard the Allies' freedom and security by political and military means

  3. To establish a single currency for member countries

  4. To create a global trading bloc

The correct answer is: To safeguard the Allies' freedom and security by political and military means

NATO's fundamental goal is to safeguard the freedom and security of its Allies through political and military means. Option A, promoting democracy, may be a part of NATO's overall mission, but it is not its fundamental goal. Option C, establishing a single currency, is not a goal of NATO as it is a military alliance and not an economic one. Option D, creating a global trading bloc, is also not a goal of NATO as its focus is on security and defense.
