    Break down of stimulus: (if) maintain deterrence (then) potential aggressor believe that you have superior power that they may not be able to defend if you retaliate

    Contrapositive. (If) potential aggressor don't believe you have superior power to retaliate, (then) you cannot maintain deterrence.

    Answer D explanation
    The country wants to maintain deterence, so it is necessary that potential aggressors believe that country has superior retaliatory power.

    Considering that the country has unsurpassed weapons, if countries know what they have then we can infer that they will believe that the country has superior retaliatory power.
