Which term describes a negotiated agreement typically aimed at ending conflict?

• A. Vertical Integration
• B. Treaty
• C. United States
• D. Tuskegee Airmen

Answer: (B)

When ending a conflict through careful agreement, the term describes a negotiated, formal instrument that bindingly sets out peace terms. A treaty is a binding agreement between parties—usually nations or international organizations—reached after discussion and concessions. It codifies ceasefire arrangements, boundaries, security commitments, and other terms needed for a lasting peace, and it becomes part of international law that the signatories are expected to honor. By contrast, the other options refer to unrelated ideas: vertical integration is about controlling multiple stages of production in business, the United States is a country, and the Tuskegee Airmen were a group of pilots; none describe a formal peace pact.
