b. It came close to starting a full-scale nuclear war.
Explanation: In October 1962 the Soviet deployment of nuclear missiles to Cuba and the U.S. response (blockade/quarantine and demands for removal) brought the two superpowers to the brink of a nuclear confrontation. The crisis was resolved diplomatically, but it is considered the closest the Cold War came to nuclear war.
