The correct response is:
He wanted to secure the city and control its rebuilding.
Stalin aimed to capture Berlin before the other Allied forces to ensure Soviet influence over the city and its post-war reconstruction. By doing so, he sought to consolidate Soviet power in Eastern Europe and strengthen the USSR's position in the emerging geopolitical landscape after World War II.
