    The answer is C. It convinced the United States that it must stand firm against communist expansion.

    Explanation:

    The Berlin Blockade was ordered by Soviet paramount leader Joseph Stalin. He wanted to block the formation of a Western German state. The US rushed to provide an air lift, showing the USSR the economic power of the United States and its firm stand. The Russian action failed, because the pro-Western Federal Republic of Germany was created in 1949.
