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.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
