The answer is D! This was during the Cold War and Fidel Castro was a Communist (America as a whole did not like Communism and Communists * cough * Soviet Union * cough*) and since Cuba is right off the coast of the USA they were worried about nuclear weapons and missiles (The Cuban Missile Crisis) they tried (and failed) to overthrow the Communist leader.
