As I know the country that invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to gain an ally in the Cold War was the Soviet Union. As they needed a support from the other sides. The other options seem not to be right at all because they didn't participate in the invasion in Afghanistan. So choose B. The Soviet Union.

The answer to the question above is letter B. the country that invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to gain an ally in the Cold War is the Soviet Union. The Soviet union sent thousands of troops into Afghanistan to assume complete military power and political control over Kabul and other large portions of the country.
