The correct answer is a.

President Ford came after President Nixon, who laid much of the groundwork for diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and China. Ford continued Nixon's efforts, for example when he met with the Soviet Foreign Minister in 1974. Additionally, with the Vietnam War winding down (it officially ended in 1975), we can rule out the second and third answer choices.
