C) A US promise not to invade Cuba.

E) Withdrawal of US missiles in Turkey.

Explanation:

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a tense thirteen day period in which the US discovered medium range ballistic missiles in Cuba that belonged to the Soviet Union. The US thought this was a sign of escalation during the Cold War. Kennedy, who was president at the time, feared a nuclear war was on the horizon.

However, Kennedy and Nikita Khruschev sent several messages back and forth until this issue was solved peacefully. The US agreed not to invade Cuba again (like they did during the Bay of Pigs Invasion) and agreed to removal their missiles from Turkey. In response, the Soviet Union promised to removal their missiles from Cuba.
