The correct response is:

**The events intensified tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to a heightened arms race.**

The Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 were significant events that heightened the already existing tensions between the two superpowers. The failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion demonstrated U.S. attempts to undermine the Cuban government and led to greater Soviet support for Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, resulting in increased military preparedness and an arms race. These events contributed to the overarching dynamics of the Cold War by reinforcing hostilities and the competition for influence around the globe.
