Correct answer: a.

The Berlin Airlift (1948–1949) was launched after the Soviet Union blocked all road, rail, and water access to West Berlin in an attempt to force the Western Allies out of the city. In response, the U.S., Britain, and their allies flew in food, fuel, and supplies until the blockade was lifted. The other choices refer to related Cold War events but not the immediate cause of the airlift.
