[A] Anti-colonialism and opposition to imperialism

[B] Rejection of military alliances and bloc politics

[C] Promotion of peaceful resolution of international conflicts

[D] Economic cooperation and development among member states

Answer: D

Notes:

Explanation – Economic cooperation and development among member states was not one of the founding principles of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).

The Non-Aligned Movement was established in 1961 with the goal of creating a group of states that were not formally aligned with any major power bloc during the Cold War. The founding principles of NAM were centered around promoting independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of all nations, particularly those that were emerging from colonialism.
