Question

A. Did nothing
B. It started a naval blockade of Cuba
C. It attacked Cuba
D. It launched missiles at the USSR

Answer 1

B. It started a naval blockade of Cuba

During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, President Kennedy's administration responded to the discovery of Soviet missiles in Cuba by imposing a naval blockade (referred to as a "quarantine") around the island to prevent further shipments of military supplies from the Soviet Union. This was part of a broader strategy to address the threat posed by the missiles without escalating to a military attack.
