B Correct answer
Explanation

The traditional weaknesses of international law include: (1) Lack of institutions - while courts exist, enforcement is weak; (2) Lack of certainty - rules are often vague and interpretation varies; (3) Vital interests - states may prioritize national interest over international law; (4) Lack of sanctions - there's no strong enforcement mechanism. Options (ii) 'lack of certainty' (as written) and (iv) 'lack of sanctions' are recognized weaknesses. Note: there's a minor typo in option B - 'certainly' should be 'certainty'.
