"It increased Americans' fear of communist aggression."

Explanation: The revolution brought a communist regime allied with the USSR to power just 90 miles from U.S. shores, producing crises (Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis) and heightening Cold War fears. It did not end U.S.–Cuba conflict (it intensified it) nor improve trade (the U.S. imposed an embargo). While some events (e.g., the failed Bay of Pigs invasion) damaged trust in government for some Americans, the primary and clear effect was increased fear of communist expansion.
