What goal was achieved by adding taggants to plastic explosives according to a specific treaty?

  1. Better recycling processes

  2. Improved efficiency in manufacturing

  3. The purpose of detection

  4. Increased durability

The correct answer is: The purpose of detection

The other options are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the purpose of adding taggants to plastic explosives according to a specific treaty. Better recycling processes and improved efficiency in manufacturing can be potential benefits of adding taggants, but the specific goal achieved was for improved detection of plastic explosives. Increased durability also may not be a direct goal achieved, as taggants do not necessarily make the explosives more durable. Therefore, the purpose of adding taggants to plastic explosives according to a specific treaty was to make them easier to detect.
