The statement that correctly describes U.S. involvement in the Soviet-Afghan War is: "The U.S. supplied weapons to the mujahideen to help fight against the Soviets."
The U.S. did not invade Afghanistan; instead, it provided support to Afghan resistance fighters (mujahideen) in their efforts to combat the Soviet invasion that began in 1979.
