AThe end of the Cold War
BThe testing of nuclear devices by India and Pakistan in 1998 ✓ Correct
CThe disbanding of Soviet socialism

Correct answer: (B) The testing of nuclear devices by India and Pakistan in 1998 — The item that cannot be included is the 1998 nuclear testing by India and Pakistan.
Explanation
★The item that cannot be included is the 1998 nuclear testing by India and Pakistan.
★Those tests took place in 1998, after the period named in the question.
★They were strategic and security events, not roots of globalization.
★The end of the Cold War opened the world to a single market order.
★The disbanding of Soviet socialism removed the rival economic bloc.
★The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 symbolised this opening.
★So the nuclear tests stand apart from the forces of globalization.
