Why not remorseful....?

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In Questions below, you have brief passages with questions following each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the questions out of the four alternatives.


India is a country wedded to peace and non-violence and her great sons like Lord Buddha, Ashoka and Gandhiji had been living examples to prove this gospel. But India as a self-respecting nation would not propagate the peace of the graveyard or the non-violence of the weak. It is a pity that our non-violence has been mistaken by many as our weakness and many assume that India is a nation of weak- willed people. Time and again, our leaders have reminded the world community that India has an inalienable right to defend its freedom, sovereignty and its ancient heritage and that it would take appropriate measures at the appropriate time to make its defensive preparedness as strong as it could. No nation need be apologetic, if it tries its best to defend its freedom. And a nation like India that has suffered centuries of foreign subjection has every right more than any other nation to strengthen its defense. Moreover, India cannot take any chances when it lives in a hostile nuclear environment, with Pakistan receiving all sorts of smuggled nuclear and missile material from North Korea, China and other sources, and China herself having conducted several nuclear tests and armed herself to teeth.

Give synonym for the word ‘apologetic’ given in the passage.
