Strategic bombing is intended to affect an enemy’s ability and willingness to continue a war. Its result cannot be measured only by counting damaged buildings. Analysts also consider whether factories, transport, power supplies and military production were disrupted; whether civilian deaths, injuries and displacement occurred; and whether public morale changed. Ethical questions about attacking populated areas are also important when judging the human and political meaning of bombing.

Option A is correct because it includes military, economic, social and moral dimensions. Buildings are visible evidence, but they do not show the whole outcome. A campaign may destroy infrastructure yet fail to end resistance, or it may reduce production while causing severe civilian suffering. The number of pilots is only one small detail, and strategic bombing was not merely naval fighting. A balanced historical evaluation therefore examines both operational effects and wider human consequences.

The League of Nations showed that an international organisation could be weakened when major powers were absent, unwilling to cooperate or unwilling to enforce decisions. Its limited authority and weak collective-security arrangements made it difficult to respond effectively to aggression. When the United Nations was created after the Second World War, its designers tried to build a more workable system. The Security Council gave a central role to the major powers, while the organisation received broader responsibilities for peace and cooperation.

Option A is correct because it identifies the lesson about strong participation and a practical security structure. This does not mean that the United Nations has solved every conflict or that its system is free from criticism. The other options reject the need for rules, exclude most countries from decisions or deny the importance of security, all of which contradict the purpose of an international body. The comparison is therefore between a weak earlier arrangement and a more organised post-war institution.
