The on after sanctions is necessary.

What if the sentence were only this?

The government imposed sanctions a renegade nation last month.

The government did two things.

It imposed sanctions on a renegade nation and it restricted foreign aid to that same nation.

Having said that, possibly one could argue that D is still somehow ok, because one could say that maybe it does not have to be clear that the sanctions were imposed on the renegade nation. Even then, D has another issue, in that the use of the word violating creates a sentence that conveys that the government itself violated the treaty.
