The third alternative is correct (C).

In 1959 Cuba was seized by Fidel Castro, who overthrew the dictator Fulgencio Batista's power. This historical process became known as the Cuban Revolution. However, the new government of Cuba had communist ideological bias and military support from the Soviet Union. In this context, there was an anti-capitalist and anti-American sentiment in that country that led the US to restrict trade with Cuba.
