Statement D is incorrect. The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in 2015 was held in Malta. There was no CHOGM held in 2016. The subsequent CHOGM was held in the United Kingdom in 2018.
Statement A is correct. India became a full member of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) in June 2016.
Statement B is correct. India formally submitted its application for membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) in May 2016.
Statement C is correct. India proposed the draft Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) at the United Nations in 1996.

– India’s growing engagement with multilateral export control regimes (like MTCR, aspiring for NSG).
– India’s long-standing efforts to counter terrorism through international legal frameworks like the CCIT.
– CHOGM is a biennial summit meeting of the heads of government of the Commonwealth member states.

India’s entry into MTCR was a significant diplomatic achievement. Its NSG membership application is still pending, facing opposition from some members, notably China. The CCIT proposed by India remains under negotiation at the UN due to disagreements among member states on the definition of terrorism and the scope of the convention.
