D Correct answer
Explanation

The Doctrine of Effective Control is associated with different legal principles in international law, but not Nixon. The Tobar doctrine (non-recognition of usurper governments), Stimson doctrine (non-recognition of territorial acquisition by force), and Estrada doctrine (recognition based on effective control without explicit declaration) are all real doctrines in international recognition law. Nixon is not associated with the Effective Control doctrine.
