Ans: (A)

Solution:

The sentence says that if the military refuses to accept locally made weaponry, then what? ? Local goes with indigenization which means developing equipment at home rather than importing it from abroad. If the military does not accept this, indigenization plans with be stopped or scuttled, which means cannot be carried out. So Indigenization, scuttled. Stymied also means scuttled, but transformation is not as relevant as indigenization to locally developed weaponry.
