The correct answer is A.

George F. Kennan was an American diplomat and historian who has a supporter of the containment strategy for the design of the relationship between the US and communism, and therefore with the URSS. His ideas inspired significant policies such as the Truman Doctrine.

The policy of containment governed foreign regulations between the US and the URSS during the Cold War era. It consisted on giving response and limiting each of the moves undertaken by the URSS aiming to enhance communist influence in Eastern Europe, China, Korea, Africa, Vietnam, and Latin America.
