C. A naval blockade

Explanation:

When the US spy plane discovered the nuclear missile sites in Cuba, President Kennedy decided to place a Naval blockade around Cuba. The main reason for it was to obstruct the Soviets from taking more military supplies to the island.

Kennedy also demanded the removal of the missiles that were already there and the destruction of the ones that were there.
