• None of these

Answer 1

USSR

Explanation:

Cuba was a Soviet Union ally, receiving both diplomatic and financial assistance from it. The Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962 in order to convert it into a Russian base. This move enraged the United States. It directed American warships to intercept any Soviet ships heading to Cuba as a warning to the USSR. In what became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis, a clash seemed imminent.
