B Correct answer
Explanation

Switzerland does not maintain a standing army in the traditional sense. Instead, it relies on a militia system where able-bodied male citizens keep military equipment at home and undergo regular training. This unique defense system is based on the principle of armed neutrality and has been Switzerland's policy for centuries. Australia, Norway, and Sweden all have conventional standing armies.
