Their economies were based on different principles and systems.

The Cold War tension grew from ideological and systemic differences — capitalist market economies (U.S.) vs state-controlled communist economies (U.S.S.R.) — which created mutual distrust and competing visions for the postwar world. The other choices are inaccurate or misleading.
