correct option: d
The adoption of non-alignment as a principle of Nigeria's foreign policy was aimed at insulating Nigeria against having to take side in the Cold War.

Coming to the definition of Non-Alignment, it could be seen as a concept which analyses the ways former colonial territories including Nigeria desired after their independence to stay out of the rivalries between the world super powers and power blocs. The former colonies while taking very active part in world affairs, remain unattached to any of the power blocs.
