Some early skyscrapers have a steel frame that enables the construction of load-bearing walls taller than of those made of reinforced concrete. Modern skyscrapers' walls are not load-bearing, and most skyscrapers are characterized by large surface areas of windows made possible by steel frames and curtain walls.The development of skyscrapers came as a result of the coincidence of several technological and social developments.

It was the refinement of the Bessemer process, first used in the United States in the 1860s, that allowed for the major advance in skyscraper construction. As steel is stronger and lighter in weight than iron, the use of a steel frame made possible the construction of truly tall buildings.

The right answer is C: Carter was able to convince Soviet President Brezhnev to reduce arms through the SALT II talks. President Jimmy Carter and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev signed the SALT-II agreement in Vienna in 1979, with the goal of establishing standards and restrictions for the production and use of nuclear weapons, and, although it was respected by both nations, it never took effect - in other words, it remained unconfirmed, unlike the SALT-I treaty, which was signed and ratified by both nations in 1972.  

SALT stands for Strategic Arms Limitation Talks.
