What term describes a person who refuses military service on moral or religious grounds?

• A. Conscientious Objectors
• B. Pacifists
• C. Draft Dodgers
• D. Noncombatants

Answer: (A)

Conscientious objectors are the people who refuse military service on moral or religious grounds. This term specifically describes seeking exemption from combat and, in many cases, performing alternative civilian work or noncombatant roles instead of fighting. Pacifists oppose war in general, but that doesn't automatically mean they seek official exemption from service. Draft dodgers evade the draft, often by illegal or evasive means, not necessarily because of conscience. Noncombatants are individuals who may still serve in the military but in noncombatant roles, not because of a principled refusal to serve.
