Explanation:

It is a legally binding ban on nuclear explosive testing: This is correct. The CTBT is indeed a treaty that proposes a legally binding global ban on nuclear explosive tests. Its aim is to inhibit the development of new nuclear weapons and the improvement of existing ones.

This forum was opened for signature by interested countries from the post-Second World War period: This is incorrect. The CTBT was not opened for signature in the post-Second World War period. It was actually adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1996 and opened for signature on September 24, 1996. The post-World War II era refers to the late 1940s and 1950s, which is much earlier than when the CTBT was introduced.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1 only.
