To be sure to get the right answer to this, you should
look in your book or your notes. There are two answers that are both
plausible.
The right answer is probably C. Containment was
the major US policy towards communism for the whole of the Cold War. This was the idea
that communism should not be allowed to spread.
However,
some might say that Reagan's real goal was to destroy communism. Reagan hated communism
and he famously referred to the Soviet Union as the "Evil Empire." However, it is not
at all clear that he was willing to take any sort of very aggressive actions to
militarily destroy communism.
Therefore, the answer to this
question is at least somewhat a matter of opinion.
