Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The temporary suspension of hostilities by mutual consent in order to stout a peace negotiation is called armistice. An armistice is a formal agreement of warring parties to stop fighting. It is not necessarily the end of a war, as it may constitute only a cessation of hostilities while an attempt is made to negotiate a lasting peace. It is derived from the Latin arma, meaning "arms" and -stitium, meaning "a stopping".This Question Belongs to General Knowledge >> Basic General Knowledge
