Solution: Traditional security refers to the concept of security that focuses on military capabilities, state sovereignty, and the use of force to protect national interests. It encompasses measures and strategies aimed at ensuring the survival, territorial integrity, and sovereignty of a nation-state. Out of the given options, all of these are components of traditional security. Let's break down each option: Option A, "Alliance building," is a component of traditional security as countries often form alliances to enhance their military capabilities and deter potential threats.
