The correct answer is D: they feared their governments were moving toward communism.
In both Chile and Argentina during the 1970s, military leaders overthrew democratically-elected governments primarily out of concern that these governments were implementing leftist policies that could lead to a communist regime. For example, in Chile, the military coup in 1973 led to the ousting of President Salvador Allende, who was a socialist. Similarly, in Argentina, the military junta took power in 1976, citing the threat of leftist movements and terrorism as justification for their actions.
