Answer: Contra forces received money from the sale of missiles.
Explanation: The Iran–Contra affair involved secret U.S. arms sales to Iran; the proceeds (and some weapons) were diverted to fund the Contra rebels fighting the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. The other options are incorrect: Nicaragua did not hold U.S. hostages, the Sandinistas were not overthrown by Iran–Contra actions, and the Contras did not directly buy missiles from the U.S. in that scheme.
