The most accurate response is: **Communism goes directly against capitalism.**

The U.S. sought to contain communism during the Cold War primarily because it was seen as a direct threat to capitalist democracy and free market principles, which the U.S. supported and promoted. Containment was a strategy aimed at preventing the spread of communism to other nations.
