Statement–Courses of Action (border security & diplomacy): India has been facing continuing military threats from neighbouring countries; which course(s) of action logically follow—(I) launch an all-out war to end the threats once and for all, or (II) bring neighbours into serious dialogue to reduce border tensions?

Given data

• Persistent military threats exist at India's borders.
• Course I: initiate an all-out war.
• Course II: engage neighbours in serious dialogue to reduce tensions.

Concept/Approach (proportionality, prudence, and problem-fit)
War is an extreme option with severe costs and risks; dialogue is a standard, proportionate step to de-escalate threats.

Step 1: Course I
All-out war is not a necessary consequence of "threats"; the statement does not justify such escalation.

Step 2: Course II
Dialogue directly targets de-escalation and confidence-building; it logically follows as a measured response.

Final Answer
Only II follows.
